I shoot on the silhouette side all the time.  But, never shoot the knock down targets.  Do I help set up?  Sometimes.  Why?  Because I'm surrounded by guys, shooting with scoped rifles knocking them down.  Then they just sit back, and wait for everyone ELSE to set up.  F that.  I didn't shoot them down, so I shouldn't be OBLIGATED to have to help set up.  I have noticed after a while, these lazy bastards realize that the targets aren't going to be set up, for them to shoot down.  At which point, they start going out to set up.  Now if I'm shooting with cool people, I help set up regardless.

I'm thinking someone attempting to assault the firearms instructor who has a loaded gun in his hand would be bad for the health and welfare of the individuals attempting that action.  I can't really think of dumber actions that one could do lol, as I take my security and safety very serious.

This is exactly why I think the peer pressure might work.  Put people on the spot and get them to go out!  It's gotta be fairly obvious who is doing tons of shooting at them and hitting.  I also imagine some guys are just going for the big gong style ones and really the chickens and squares.

Yah I feel u I would think that a brass catcher and 6 colored ammo boxes would be obvious enough but I was wrong I think he needs better glasses. I had to battle him with a broom and dust pan after everytime I shot if my brass didn't go in my catcher

Recommend taking a small bucket with a sign:  RANGE SWEEPER:  PLEASE DEPOSIT MY BRASS IN HERE.  MAHALO!!

umm, rdi, i figure by your post count that you're new to the site
funtimes is a moderator here, and does more to support safety education and 2a rights than almost all of the rest of us combined (maybe all of us combined, but i'll hedge and say almost all)
some people may view what you just posted as a threat, just to let you know

Rdi,

That post was messed up. 

When you say some of "us" don't play nice you're including yourself specifically, because all of the other braddahs I've met on this site do play nice and know what Funtimes is all about and the contributions he's made.

I think that's the first post I construed to be a threat to another member in my whole time on this forum, as a lurker and a member. 

Keep up the good work Funtimes !  :worship:

I have never shot on the silhouette side but I figured the 5-10 bucks you pay is for someone to go and pick up the targets for you.  Heck I didn't even know the silhouette targets could fall down(I figured they are all thick steel cutouts welded to bars which are pounded into the ground).  Can you shoot shotguns on the silhouette side?





You should never attribute malice to ignorance or stupidity.

You can shoot pistol/handgun and .22 rifle.
I see the silhouette side as a give and take. It is ran privately and the $5 goes to the upkeep. A bare bones, do it yourself, help out where you can, type deal. I set up targets if I knock them down.Or, if I see the same people  go out there time after time I will help out. I see setting up targets and sweeping your own brass as a way of showing appreciation for what we have.
God, guns, and guts made America. Let's keep all three!
