I was on silhouette side on the weekend, got there early about 0730
was shooting 357, 45acp, and 22LR. I like to shoot the semiauto on the right side of the bench so it can be caught by the net that's there or at least not go too far for me to retrieve. and i'll shoot the revolver on the left side bc the brass doesn't go anywhere
then next to me on the left arrives a guy who regularly brings tourists there to shoot. I'm assuming this, but its pretty obvious
after not too long of them being there, the lady says "can you move your revolver to the other side bc the powder is hitting me in the face"
so I reply, "ok."
the weird thing is that they are shooting a Ruger Super Redhawk, and a 50AE. so theyre getting hit by their own powder no doubt as well.
but I'm a polite guy, and I dont want to start any conflict with anyone if I can avoid it, especially at the range. If I can solve the problem easily I will.
but it was kind of irritating, bc if she knows that the powder is hitting her, why don't YOU move to the left side of YOUR bench to avoid getting hit by the powder
when there is someone next to me shooting a .50 or 454 or something big, i'll just wait until theyre done shooting their cylinder or mag or whatever, then i'll shoot. no big deal, doesn't bother me.
I get hit by powder all the time, doesn't bother me.
if you don't want to get hit by powder, don't come to the range, lady!

ok, rant over for now.
