Indoor Gun Range - Stories

What have you seen?

 

I understand you must start somewhere but at the range with no instruction.

The few times I've been in an indoor range (I hate them - unless I'm shooting a .22)

 

I always take time to admire the bullet holes in the wall, floor and ceiling.

I do not like the AR Pistol people standing right beside you.  Dang that’s loud.

Holes in the tables at the line, holes in the ceiling at the line, holes in the barricade between lanes. I shoot at an indoor range once a week, almost every week (weekly indoor match). For many years, the owner allowed us to shoot steel, as long as it was at least 15 yards from the line. We shot so much steel, the side splatter from hitting the steel actually ate through the concrete block walls where the stands were placed up against them. We routinely broke lights, sometimes 2-4 per match, and had to replace the metal baffles on the the ceiling several times above the 15 yard line. We still shoot every week, but the new owners will not let us shoot steel, only plastic...so we have falling targets made of UHMW, which the bullets pass through.

When I see holes in tables, baffles, etc.  I always wonder what happened and if the guy who did that is okay.
