"doesn't belong on a wma" tell that bitch to stfu. Your tax dollars pay for that range. He can get over it

If you were breaking the rules, they would have said something. The Fudd vs. action shooting thing is real though.

Were you breaking this rule:

14. Double tapping or rapid fire is prohibited. Shooters shall allow at least one second between shots.

Range visitors should note that many of the ranges require possession of a hunting license, fishing license or Lands Pass. Be sure you have the appropriate license before visiting.

I made sure to not do that. Just drawing when the shot timer went off and fired one shot on target to see how long it'll take. Always made sure sights are acquired before firing, almost all "A" zone hits.

That.
I have (well until the closing in less than two weeks) my own place to 'train' any way I want. WMA ranges have to adhere to strict rules and that includes the lowest common denominator. Practically speaking, public ranges are for sighting in long guns, and stationary fixed position handgun practice. Many private ranges have more flexibility.

Lowest common denominator is the key to public ranges. Everyone has a story of stupid at a public range. Image how different that story would be if they only had the 3 basic "Always" rules of gun handling.

Then piss on them. There are no unwritten rules, and if there was, they wouldn't be followed by every one.

I hated going to WMA. One time, I went there and this old dude called cold range after EVERY shot he made to walk down there and cover it.

WMA ranges were not built for people to practice their quick draw skills. You can shoot yourself in your leg while you are at home practicing in your back yard.

Tell them to STFU and mind their own business. Most public ranges are one of two things:

1. Wanna be gangsters shooting everything but the target

and

2. fudds who waste their two boxes of ammo their wife let them buy at bass pro to zero their deer rifle for the season. After their door sized, three shot group, they are zeroed and ready for that monster whitetail.
