Amusing and Not so Amusing Range incidents!
1) Went out to change targets. Several of us are down range. I turn around at the 50 Yard mark to see some fella loading his AR-15 with the barrel pointed down range. Needless to say I started to scream a stream of obscenities and threatened the fool with serious bodily harm! Not So Amusing! He looked at me as if I were insane! I came within an inch of beating him to death but the thought of going to jail for such an idiot kept me in check!
2) My friend was firing exploding Bird Bombs down range. As we were the only ones on the range we were shooting off some odd stuff. My friend wanted to see if he could hit a target with the bird bomb. He missed! What he did was start a fire in the scrub grass on the range. I ran out to stomp the flames. As I was jumping up and down to put the flames out I noticed I was wearing dockers. At that moment my dockers flew off and I was stomping on the fire with my socks. As I was ruining my socks and starting to singe, one of my compatriots came running up with a water cooler bottle in a bear hug and proceeds to trip.
The water bottle goes flying as do his glasses. The water bottle knocks me over and my friend breaks his glasses. My friend falls on the grass and starts screaming. I tell him to roll and start pouring water on him from the water bottle. We finally got the fire put out. My third friend the gunsmith, was back at the range house laughing so hard I thought he might rupture something.
He kept pointing. He was lauging so hard he could not speak. He was pointing at the shiny brand new fire extinguisher on the wall.
Not So Amusing at the Time but kind of funny now. You should have seen the look on my wifes face when I showed up at the door at home with my ruined socks and Dockers.
3) Took a friend to shoot. He wanted to take his cousin. I said
okay. As I walked through the range house door the cousin threw home the bolt on his Nagant. The rifle was pointed right at my chest. I jumped right on the floor. He asked me why I was on the floor! Needless to say I cannot write here what I screamed at him. He does not go shooting with me anymore! Not so Amusing then and pretty scary now!
4) Took my cousin to the range and he proceeds to shoot 5 holes in the baffles. I asked my cousin what the hell happened? Oh, says he, the front sight fell off my gun last week. I called him a stupid B#$%@*d and inquired as to how much glue he was sniffing. One word led to another and we ended up rolling around in a mud puddle outside the range house. My wife really gave me a strange look at the front door that day. My cousins wife is still mad at me but the cousin and I are still buddies.
Anybody else have strange and amazing humourous range incidents. Remember folks.....truth is stranger than fiction!
