Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

Years ago while Christmas shopping in a Denver department store with a sporting goods section with my wife, a customer was looking at a Model 94 Winchester, and asked the store clerk if that rifle was full or semi-automatic. The clerk replied that he didn't know and would ask his boss.

Gunstore employee with an open top cross draw leather holster told me that Iowa DNR had been releasing wolves to limit the deer population.

I hear this one all the time. “Just to see how it would work”

"Had my 30/30 bore-sighted for 500 yds and I've never missed a deer since" ...... it was an open-sighted rifle to boot.

Worked at a gun counter at Sportsman's Warehouse in Utah during college. Had a guy come in really upset. He said he wanted a .25 WSSM. They were obscure even then. I’ve always been a quarter-bore fan, so I asked what drew him to that cartridge. “I was shooting at a running deer across a canyon and I just couldn’t catch up to it. Took at least 10 shots and every one of them was behind it.” I asked him what he was shooting that couldn’t catch up to the deer (TIC, of course). His response? “.25-06”
