It was fun fo da first time takin my son n wife out dea to shoot. dat all changed wen I noticed about 20-25 people shootin n only 5-8 people helpin set targets back up, da rule should be EVERYONE shootin on da line must go out n HELP set up targets if not pack ur stuff n go home u lazy bums... is it jus me or anyone else feel da same way??

I agree.
I always go to reset targets after each iteration. It's been awhile since I shot on that side.
In addition, the brass vulture is another reason I don't go there.

If you're knocking 'em down (or trying to knock 'em down) then you should help put 'em back up. 

I practice this.  Some days, I'm not there to knock 'em down, I just shoot at the ones that swing.  Or at rocks.  On those days, I still go out to help reset (most of the time).  I figure that the more people who help, the faster it gets done.  And the faster it gets done, the more time there is for shooting.

If it were me, I'd double the fee for the range.  But then I'd give $5 back to the people who actually helped out.  That way, everyone contributes!

Call them what they are: BRASS THIEVES!!

If they didn't bring the ammo and shoot it, then the brass is NOT theirs.  They should ASK before taking, or just leave it alone.  I notice people asking all the time.  It isn't that difficult.

Once the shooter sweeps it up, ask if they plan to keep it.  If the shooter fails to clean up their brass before leaving, then you can be a nice guy and sweep the area for him! 

Taking something you know is not yours without asking permission first is theft by definition.  Maybe that's just me?

I went to the range last week and got there before 8. All the targets were down from the day before and I was the only one who went and setup.
The range master asked if anyone wanted to go out before he called the line and i was the only one who said yes.
Almost all the spots were taken and there were others with rifle cases. I made sure before I walked out that if I saw anyone shooting them I was gonna give them an ear full.

I still think instead of da range master asking he should TELL EVERyONE to go out n set up targets, if u didn't or u won't den dnt shoot dea. da more people help da faster da line gets cleared to shoot hea's n idea next time we shoot dea n no one goes out to help I'm gonna take 1min per target to set up see how dea like dat one it's gonna take me 20-30mins to set it all up wat dea gonna say?? F dem lazy bastards LOL

In the greater perspective, the private org that runs the range has monthly silhouette matches which is a great venue for shooting and FOOD! $5 for both.
I agree that with more people setting up targets the lass the lull in between shooting.

I like that take long time. The last time I was there I felt the same way. It was my family and like two other people helped set up targets but then again my family can shoot good so we did knock down all the back row targets but none the less the front row still needed some help and 2 outta everbody there did it.

This amazes me.  It would never even occur to me to take someone else's brass.  If I'm sweeping up my brass and I sweep up some of theirs, I always give  them their brass.   

You really have to have a set on you (and a total lake of any self-respect) to steal someone else's brass.

I am always one of the few ones putting up targets between rounds too.

When people don't put up targets, I load up all my magazines and blast down all the targets in front of them first, then I move on to the ones in front of me.
