Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

[haywoodhunter]

I was at the public range the other day and witnessed something that immediately made me think of this thread. Few guys set up on a bench and start pulling stuff out. One pulls out an ar with no sight. No irons, no red dot, no scope, no nothing. RSO walks over and asks him if he’s got something on a qd he’s gonna put on to sight in or something. Nope. Feller planned to just point and shoot this ar down the 100yd range lol. Told the RSO he’d bought it the day before at the gun show

There are definitely ARs out there that need to be function tested before bothering with optics or sights. Especially at gun shows. Way too many people bought the parts and assembled them at home without verifying that they would work together.

Count me in on paying more attention to the pretty college girl.

That’s fair. This range allows function testing of rifles on the pistol range for this reason. And if that’d been his response I wouldn’t have thought anything of it. But in my mind it seemed silly because you wouldn’t go slap a target up at 100 yds and just look down the barrel.

But you right. Never hurts to shoot a gun show ar to make sure it works.

Had 2 yesterday during my daughters hunter
Safety course

Fist was the game warden going over rules and regulations talking about FMJ and not to use, but then he started calling frangible bullets FMJ and that a frangible bullet doesn’t expand and will just poke through without expanding, after the 3rd time He repeated it I stopped him and corrected him about what a frangible bullet is and where it explained in the text book. You could tell this was the first time he ever heard of what a frangible bullet does. But at least he admitted to
Th students he was wrong and corrected himself

Second was the instructor going off about a 223 is unethical to hunt with and is no different than shooting a deer with a 22lr, I wasn’t in the mood to argue or get into how wrong she was but it was comical to hear her explanation.

She’s not wrong.

I just took a nephew through his hunter safety course and the fuddlore was strong in that.
