Thanks for all the advice Col, and Capt.
Right now, my biggest problem is the attitudes given to me and my friend by those members in the area. My friend is only 21, and I am only 28. They spent over an hour, not really lecturing, but grilling us on safety. I got yelled at because my hands were resting on my revolvers. It's where my hands have been trained to go. I tried to apologize and tell them it's an old habit, playing it subtle. That's when one of the ROs decided that I may not even be allowed to shoot on the clock yet. I replied the clock was only there as a start beep, and that I wasn't going for time and never will be. I then showed him my spencer, and he laughed, saying I never could with that. I told him I was happy being a "warthog". He got upset then, saying we had attitude problems.
I'm retired USCG and I'm now currently working part time with the USFS over this summer. My friend, is a BLM game warden right now in the mojave for the summer. We know safety. I saw three people at the match not doing any trigger discipline at all, one of whom had lectured us!
After that, we just packed up our gear and left.
Dutifully,
WD
