ahaha, complaining about thrown brass at the range, seriously .
I guess in you live in MD or California you don't have choose.
Come on, bench shooting. In the era of tacticool who and the hell still shoots from the bench anymore.
Brass in your face, ranger masters, slow trigger pulls, "the know it all" gun experts", that fact that everybody's a "III%er" at the range.
Why do people still pay to shoot at these places is beyond me.

I think you've gone beyond "practical" and into what is called "Full retard".
What good is shooting from a bench? It's worthless in the real world. Unless your "real world" encompasses only a shooting bench and the surrounding area (benchrest competitors, prairie-dog hunters, etc.)
Then, noone has to go all "3%'er", either.
There is a happy, common-sense medium. It's the guy with the Porsche who buys the Piloti shoes, and gets an alignment from a proper shop, and changes his brake fluid every 3 months and actually tracks the car while wearing a helmet. No need for the fancy jackets and fire-retardant suit and HANS device in a streetcar...but only a tool wears flipflops and rolls around on Firestone's if they enjoy actually driving...
Oh I've cleared the line a time or two with my old Super Redhawk, lol. I'll never forget this one guy just cleared his semi-auto, set it down and backed away from the shock zone. He said "That was uncomfortable". Of course it could have been the sand backstop spraying up in the air too, hard to say..
In any event me and buddy got sent down to the 50yard range
Actually it can get quite LOUD out here at the range. A lot of guys shoot 300 or 338 WinMags with brakes. I used to have a an Encore in .338 with a brake. That puppy would stir your drink.
It is TACTICOOOLLL/
I wear tennis shoes, black converse as they are comfy, sunglasses and ball cap (burn easy, so it blocks the sun well)
I worked out with SEALs, but was not one, does that make me ex spec ops, LOL....I was a submariner at a SEAL command, before everyone freaks out and throws darts at me..
after years of going to local ranges , something that has changed, it seems a lot of shooters think they are Special Ops, SEALs, Scout snipers, ex DELTA, SWAT?
plus when you go to a gun store 90% of the guns are some type of "tactical" style with rails, special optics, lasers, front pistol grips, folding stocks, like they are getting ready for a SEAL mission?
plus lots of self proclaimed MMA amateur fighters and that type of training
plus firearms training, everybody thinks they are Special Ops, ex Navy SEAL, etc at the local shooting ranges these days, and train like they are preparing for some type of fire fight or survival from a SHTF scenario? lots of fast shooting and emptying the magazines as fast as they can pull the trigger.
wearing tactical drop down holsters, and practicing quick draws
is it because of the video games? or recent conflicts in the Middle East?
It's a fad
IMO Guns have been so politicized that anyone that thinks they're a republican feels the need to both own and shoot guns now. A lot of these people are people that simply wouldn't own guns if it wasn't so politicized. They don't hunt, and they didn't grow up around guns. These are people that sit around and play call of duty all day, and watch too many action movies.
These people are idiots. In an actual SHTF situation, I would bet my last dollar that MR. tactical with his AR15 would get his *** handed to him by old man Elmer Fudd and his bolt action hunting riffle LOL
I generally show up in jeans and a work shirt and sometimes with a faded denim jacket because most of the time that is what I wear. I go to the range to shoot, not to attend a fashion show.
I still have a problem with crowding the stock when I fire a M-1 rifle. I get a good site picture and when I shoot my right thumb smacks me just under the eye socket. One clip and I just do not want to shoot the thing.
