There was also one time I left the optics at home and had to drove back. 4 happens all the time. The RSOs at my local range have a habit of treating everyone as an idiot and yell all the time like grumpy drunks. I’m usually okay with it because I understand they are just trying to do their job and afraid accidents might happen, but it really triggers some other shooters.

My worst experience was an NRA High Power match at my local range, where my new M1 Garand decided to rip off case rims instead of extracting rounds because somebody **ahem** didn’t clean the chamber well after purchasing. My takeaways after years of shooting: 1. Always take more than one gun to the range 2. Clean your guns well afterwards and inspect them inside and out for excessive wear and tear 3. Make sure that any screws on your gun, sights, etc. are always tightened (using proper gunsmithing screwdrivers!!!). I’ve had action and sight screws back out on numerous occasions, wreaking havoc on the range 4. Use quality ammo or reloads you have followed by the book. I’ve been gassed in the face and suffered reliability issues with super cheap ammo. Maintain your guns well, be safe, and have fun on the range!

The nice thing about being a farmer, or a retired farmer, is that the firing range is right out your back door. But talking about guns you like to shoot, I absolutely love the way my Ruger SR1911S's and my Remington 1911R1S fit my hand and as much as I like shooting them it wasn't until I wrapped my hand around the Ruger Mark IV Competition Stainless that I found the gun of my dreams. I love shooting it so much I wake up mornings hoping that I can make it outside to shoot it sometime during the day. I was disabled in 2003 because of back problems that have steadily become worse and my day at the "range" is any day I can make it outside to shoot. I keep a metal folding chair and a yellow target ball on the porch. I drag the chair down to the driveway and toss the target ball out about 25 to 30 yards, shoot my eight magazines, gather up the target ball and the chair and take them back to their spot on the porch and hobble back in to my recliner happy to have been able to make it outside again.

Not really my bad day but when people bring their friends/families over at the range with lack of protective equipment, I see a trend that whenever an individual brings his friends over to shoot for the first time, they do not provide proper hearing and eye protection. I'd see the newcomers plugging their ears with their fingers the entire time and when it's their time to shoot, they're a little hesitant to shoot because of the noise. After seeing this multiple times at the range, I always bring a pack of foam earplugs and would offer them for those that need them just to make their shooting experience a little better.

@elmerlopez3924 4 жыл бұрын

That’s always good, you can also use spent .380 or 9mm shells to use as earplugs. I do it all the time, works great.

As a new shooter I appreciate this video. I've only been a gun owner for a few months now and I've been shooting very often with my Glock 19 gen 5. I try to make it a point to make improvements each and every session. My last session was the first time I didn't see improvement and it bothered me a little bit. You are probably right when you say you need to focus on having fun first. Good video, keep up the good work. Been watching for almost a year now. You guys have tought me so much about firearms, my favorite gun channel on KZfaq for sure.

Bad days at the range remind me of bad days of certain times when I play piano. Sometimes you just can't get much right and feel unfocused, the music just doesn't sound good. Then you come back the next day and things are great. The same thing happens even to the greatest pianists in the world. Same with shooting or any other skill. The brain is a very strange organ.

Guys! This gives me a great idea for a video...how about an "IV8888 Behind the Scenes" or "a day with IV8888"? Like start from leaving for the range, maybe some shots while driving there and setup of cameras and mics, add some shots that got edited out, bloopers and outtakes and some closing thoughts or commentary. I think a lot of viewers would love to see how a day in the life would be.

I can admit to shooting a SilencerCo Omega 300 win mag can off my Scar 17S. I didn't have it tightened down. It traveled 25 yards downrange when I fired a shot & had a baffle strike as it left the rifle. SilencerCo was terrific during this entire experience. They fully rebuilt my can 100% in about 1 week or less. Top notch company! One of my worst days on the range. Turned out ok in the end thanks to SilencerCo.

Mr FNH I had the same experience with my Silencerco Omega on a 308. The suppressor landed on the 50 yard line. Silencerco replaced it within a week at no cost. They provide outstanding customer service. I own two Silencerco suppressors now.

I'm sure I've given other people a bad day at the indoor range. I was trying some really hot .44 magnum handloads in my Ruger Redhawk (almost a full charge of Winchester 296 under a 200 grain Nosler JHP). Even with a 7.5" barrel, the muzzle flash lit up the whole range and the concussion was incredible. After firing off a few cylinders full, I looked around to see everyone else had left.

DavyJones'Locker thank you. When your dropping rounds while topping off a mag from shaky hands it's not gonna be a good shooting day. LOL! That barometric pressure talk is more for long range (as I'm sure you know already) but still effects bullet flight. I'll use any excuse though when my wife's with me though, and that one makes me look smart and gives me an excuse simultaneously...... I hope she doesn't watch this video and reads this.

Back in 2014 at my last Annual Training, we were qualifying on the M249 SAW, one particular SAW caused a triple feed during quals, it also misfired continually and gave other issues. So I pulled it from the firing line and let it cool, inspected it and found the new gas block (non removable) was 3/4 clogged with carbon. No one had cleaned this SAW thoroughly for a long time, we got the Carbon out and the SAW back up and running but still gave some hiccups. Fun day at the range.

My worst day at the range in recent memory was having a case rupture in my Sig P320 blowing apart the extractor and cracking the frame. After looking at the other cases shot out of it, they all had similar markings indicating an unsupported case. I’ve since had the pistol fixed and it shot fine after being repaired. Definitely glad I was wearing proper safety gear.

My Bad Day at the Range; I was on one lane, and a man was with his children next to me. After squeezing off one magazine, I turned a little and found myself looking into the muzzle of a .22 rifle, held by one of those little kids! I slowly turned and moved the Muzzle away from my face, then the Father pulled the boy to their lane. The Father said nothing to me, or the little gunslinger! This was a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for that father to teach A LITTLE GUN SAFETY!

@killerratchet1973 6 жыл бұрын

I have an embarrassing one that happened a year ago. Basically me and my grandfather were out at the range, he gave me his AKM and was telling me to shoot. As I raised the rifle and was about to pull the trigger I saw two people walking out in the firing range trying to setup targets, in my mind I said "oh shit I can't shoot yet there's people out there." So I followed basic gun safety I took my finger off the trigger, and pointed the muzzle to the ground as I turned around and tried to say "Hey I can't shoot yet there's people out there." But my grandfather was freaking out screaming "GET BACK GET BACK" over top of me as I was trying to tell him why I couldn't shoot yet. The people who walked out at the range just stared at us, I felt pretty embarrassed to say the least and is one of the reasons I don't shoot with him anymore.

@killerratchet1973 6 жыл бұрын

ModestestMouse If memory serves me correct, I think "get back" was basically telling me to turn back to where I was originally facing. Which I couldn't do of course due to what was mentioned above, looking back to me it just seems like he just wanted to "correct" me to come off as being better than me and come across that he knows more. That isn't the first time something like that happened by the way. I remember he told me a story of a friend he knows shot himself in the leg. With the way he was telling it, he came across as being very superstitious and acted like the gun just fired for no reason. At first I thought maybe he just didn't have a holster, and maybe me moved his leg which caused the trigger to pull. But then he put in a detail that was missing in his story, and I was able to put the pieces together. Basically he tried to draw from his waist/holster or whatever, and he must've pulled the trigger and shot his leg. When I pointed that detail out he kinda just stayed silent, and didn't acknowledge what I said. Guess it didn't fit his narrative.

Simple fix at home just need to adjust the OAL down a bit. Knowing when to go home is the key sometimes. It was a simple fix at home... but a waste of time to try and fix at the range. .

I looked up and with a straight face I drooped an empty brass into the chamber and I say, I was just coming to look for you. You know how big a 45/70 round is.

Worst day at the range for me was when I had my tavor in its 9mm conversion and I had 2 out of battery detonations and damaged the rifle to the point where it was no longer useable. Thankfully IWI's customer service was amazing and they covered the cost to ship it in and I had it back 4 weeks later good as new. Also when it happened it was interesting how it blew out the mag out of the magwell and so the explosion was directed out the mag well and ejection port and saved me from injury.

It really does help to put your gun down. Take some deep breaths and find that place in your mind that makes you most happy. When you calm down pick up your firearm and shoot it without putting alot of thought into it.

I agree 100%. How a particular gun fits can make all the difference. I trained myself to shoot my IDPA glock 17 better than THE average shooter but I can shoot my Walter pk380 like it's an extention of my body and the bullets are subject to my every will, I can even make hits shooting over cover blind, all because it fits my hands so well

Many shooters are malformed in the discipline from the beginning, bypassing the flintlock and forming poor habits with rim fires, few youth are rewarded or denied their meals based on their skill at arms, and they fail to regard every cartridge as sacred, their muscle memory and oneness with the firearm is not engrained before moving on to other calibers.Cheek weld, breath control trigger control sight picture sight alignment body position to target, all of this is disregarded and then the rifle is blamed, the spear and arrow never suffered from this much blame. You send the lead to the target, how it is sent is your domain.
