NicVerAZ Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 The more I look at the people who do this sport, the more I realize that there are two groups of people: red necks and geeks, and some types of hybrid in the middle: geeky red necks and red necky geeks. Am I the only one to see it this way? So what are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanopistol Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Oh, so many things to add to this! Nanotechnologist trying to be a redneck is probably a good description, the mostest fakest thing you will see at the range I suspect, but at least I don't drive my wife's Prius to the matches.

Roscoe09292010 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Maybe its just AZ? Around here its all kinds: old / young fat / skinny slow / fast tall / short pleasant / not so helpful / not so tacticool / practicool amateur / non all colors I think we all walk away from the match happy though.

Kurtosis? I hope your sample size is large enough to warrent noting the Kurtosis, otherwise you are just living a fantacy. (OMG, I am even nerder than I thought and I don't even have a DC poster!).

StraightUp_OG Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I am a geek. For me I employ Einsteins "Spooky Action at a Distance". I shoot really really fast and I miss...Spooky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdphotoguy Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Guess I'm a bit of a hybrid, 100% geek, only about 1/3 red neck as I'm originally a yankee, but have lived in Mississippi for about three years now and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one to see it this way? So what are you? I've noticed the same thing. My crew is pretty geeky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRush Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't fit in either of those profiles, but I love shooting clays with my Serbu Super Shorty and occasionally bring up heteroskedasticity when somebody starts spouting out "statistics". Take your pick. While it might be easy to profile that way, the reality is the shooting community is quite diverse. At least it is here in SoCal.

VIPERONE Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I think I be a Red Neck. We have a Country Store down the road a short drive where you can find the entire cast of Deliverance out front now and again. I have never heard Banjo music at a match however.

Take your pick. While it might be easy to profile that way, the reality is the shooting community is quite diverse. At least it is here in SoCal. First of all, if you have ever spent time in this man's area, diverse is just the beginning. I find the types and numbers of folks that shoot in SoCal is amazing. For those of you who mock "Kalifornia" or whatever, would probably be surprised at the numbers of folks that do shoot, and quite a few more than a few disciplines. Jocks, cops, nerds, moms, dads, daughters, sons, hotties, out-of-towners, kids, old folks, competitive folks, gruffians, ruffians, jackrabbits, tortoises, snakes, and lizards, they all seem to shoot at our club.
