Went to the range. Guy before me finished and left. Had the place to myself long enough to get the report in Range Reports.
Thought plink a little and new guy shows. Call a ceasefire so he can set up.
The whole line is empty and he sets up right next to me. He sighting in two ported 223s. 18 inch ported 223s.
Ported rifles are a great way to ruin someone else's day at the range.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: Port side.
I find 223s to be pretty obnoxious even without ports. I have an 18 inch AR and a 22 inch bolt action and both are too loud for my tastes.

That was my reaction the first time I fired my Long Ranger .223.

Re: Port side.
I really don't have any room to talk because every firearm I take to a range is a big boomer .... for that reason I do try to stay as far away from the nearest fellow shooter as possible .... that said, I usually end up being assigned a spot when we check in and pay the fee

Nothing like lining up your target and having someone's empty round land on the top of your head!

Re: Port side.
I dont think I could have held back with my feelings. I think I either would have called another cease fire and moved or made him move over a couple.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Port side.
The guy was obviously a newbie or he would
Been more considerate given the issues of ported rifles and flying brass.
Him setting up right next to you with lots of room would have been a little disturbing as well and a sign of isolation/independence issues.
I would have called a cease fired, got up and moved and not said a word.

Re: Port side.
Actually I had just pulled my target and was very happy with the info I had just got.I dont think I could have held back with my feelings. I think I either would have called another cease fire and moved or made him move over a couple.
The Trap Team was practising and the Shoot Master there was in charge of ceasefires.
I chose not to Harsh My Mellow with the confrontation.
