Hello YouTube. Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, we're going to be going over range day etiquette. Unfortunately, at public ranges, we've all experienced these types of people.
Don't be this person starting with number one.
- Nothing pisses you off more than when you're trying to side in your rifle and you got Billy Bob coming up next to you to mag dump a fricking 300 blackout or 50 BMG, right next to your face. Just going
‘Merica. Yeah.
Yeah, that makes you look really stupid.
Number two
2. Mind your muzzle, also known as don't break your 180 if you really suck at geometry. In other words, don't aim your firearm at something that you're not willing to destroy.
Hey, Carl, how's it going, man? How's your wife? How are your kids? Are your kids great? Do they love having a father? That's great. I'm so glad. How's your dog? Is your dog doing great? That's so great, man. I'm so happy for you. That's fricking wonderful. That's awesome. I'm so happy for everybody here. I hope you guys are having a wonderful day.
Number three
3. Keep all bolts and pistol slides locked back. Nothing drives us more crazy than just throwing down a rifle or a pistol down on the tables, and we have no idea if it's loaded or not.
Oh, clock 34. Dude, I love this gun. I hear the trigger is freaking, what the heck, man, I thought this thing was loaded. You have the bolt blocked back on the fricking Walter, but not, there's not even a mag in the Glock. I guess I'm just a freaking idiot and decide, just pull the trigger without checking if there was a round in there.
Number four
4. Don't go walking around underneath everybody picking up their spend casings and their brass off the ground like a poor person. Simply ask for their casings. If you really want to reload it before you make it weird.
Ah, yes,
Fine specimen.
Excuse me,
I'm just going to get your spent casings over here. I don't think you need these, do you?
I know when I'm enjoying content, I'm constantly messing around. I'm never serious whether it comes to shooting guns at the range or playing video games. However, when it comes to my training, I do take it very seriously and I do that with Mantis. One of my favorite products to use is the Laser Academy. It's a cool little cartridge. It has a laser in it. All you do is pop into your pistol and you can dry fire from home. You can see where your hits are. It sinks up to an app on your phone, so it also gives you feedback on how fast your draw is, where you're shooting your proficiency, your accuracy, and it saves a crap ton of time and ammo, so you don't have to keep going to the range. There's also multiple targets too, so you have friends over. Y'all can go head to head. I've done it a few times with Michelle. We had a freaking blast. It was a lot of fun. So you're also still being able to have fun and do dry firing, which those two things usually don't go hand in hand, so it makes it a little less miserable to dry fire and a lot more fun. I can't wait to continue to use the Laser Academy so I can get better at shooting, so I can finally beat Michelle Oozy. I probably still won't. You guys should totally check out Mantis Below and click on the link.
Anyway, check out Mantis. It's a lot of fun, especially when you
Win. Number five
5. Don't give advice that's unwanted. You're not always the best shooter, and your advice might actually suck and make someone shoot shittier.
Hey man, listen, I see you're missing your targets. I just want to help you out a little bit. In my experience, I've been shooting for like six months, so I know so much about this dude. My preference is to shoot it like we call it the teacup grip. You just do like this and just, it gives you just way better recoil control. I feel like personally, and I kind of miss my target too, but I feel like it's going to help you out, man, from someone who knows what they're talking about. You're welcome.
It's one thing to call someone out on their lack of safety, but it's another thing to give advice that's unwanted. Number six
6. Don't be that guy. Oh, what gun is that? Can I shoot that? Can I give it a try? Is it my turn? Our mother isn't here to force us to share. We're not going to share with you ever.
That's a mighty cool looking gun you got there. That looked like there being a, it's really cool guns, man. It's really cool. Hey, do you mind if, can I shoot that? My son would be so freaking excited if I shot that. You're going to get me a mag
Disc disc Number seven
7. If you're not experienced with the type of firearm you're using, such as a 50 AE Desert Eagle, don't put everyone's life in danger because you don't know how to handle the recoil.
I've never shot before. I have no idea what kind of ammo this is, so okay, I'm good. I should probably go get my gun.
Time to invest in a private range. And last but not least, number eight, making sure everyone at the range knows that you're a better shoe than everyone else.
You see that that was dead center. I'd smoke every single one of these people on this range, huh? Watch this follow up shot though, right on top of each other, right on top of each other. Oh, that was a perfect three group. Man. I need to be sponsored. What can I say, man? I'm a natural. You know what? I'll let y'all have the range. I can't get any better. I'm going to go ahead and get out of here and let y'all work on it. Oh, man,
If you hit your targets every time, nobody cares. Keep it to yourself. You just look like an arrogant dad, asshole. Everyone's at the range to learn. And that's a wrap for this video. I hope y'all learned a valuable lesson today. Don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell and I'll see y'all next time. Also, leave a comment below on what is the most annoying thing you've experienced at the range in today's video. We're going to be, unfortunately, at public range days, no, but to call someone else, no. How would I phrase that? Pisses you off more than when you're trying to, don't give advice. That's not piss. Number five. Did I say number four? Damn, I don't even know what I was saying to you
Before I end this video. I just wanted to throw this little bit in there. I know I haven't streamed in like a month. My computer died, so Meta PCs is sending me another one, and that doesn't get delivered until tomorrow. So hopefully tomorrow and Tuesday I'm going to be able to set up my stream and get everything ready to start streaming again on Twitch. We stream every single night at 9:00 PM Eastern, except for Mondays and Tuesdays. Those are my days off and, and Michelle, so much on that platform and hopefully we'll have everything ready for this week and I'll see you this week on Twitch.
