Range was kinda busy today but I cleaned it out when I started shooting my 300 win mag with a thunder beast brake. A Couple two benches down left on first shot( his wife didnt like it one bit) few others pulled up and left without even getting out. Some guys shooting sks didnt take long to move either. after that I had it all to myself!

had a guy and his wife set up next to me one morning. He took out a very nice Barret, .338 with a very short barrel and a very big brake. He had absolutely NO idea what he was doing, "sound familiar"?? Every time he would shoot, all the chit on my bench would succumb to the blast. I cut loose with my 6.5 Weatherby and did the same to him, although , if it was a contest, he would have won, his wife wasn't happy. So the rest of the morning was spent alternating shots with him. All was good

Buzz got it right. Coordinate with the shooters next to you. I've done that many times when shooting our cold bore shot first thing in the morning at a match. The brake guys are prone side by side in the dirt. I'll say "yall wanna go left to right taking our turns?" Usually that's what we do. Still fun to show up with a big boomer.

I'm a bit torn on this. As a fellow shooter I will defend your right to shoot whatever you like at a public range, but your obviously taking such joy in doing what you know to be annoying to other fellow shooters, and relishing in how you "cleaned them out," instead of being apologetic for ruining others' valuable range time, kinda' cheapens it to somewhat of a douche move. Sorry, just how I see it.

I'm sorry, that's just how it looks, as if you intentionally ran everyone else off the range and actually enjoyed doing so. I do wish you Happy Holidays, though!

Ugh...you certainly have the right to shoot your cannon there but to take such pleasure in screwing with other people...that just hits me the wrong way. It seems like its a little perverse pleasure that you took. Sad really.. I think you could approached the situation in a way that at least was not so offensive, I say offensive based on the behavior you spoke of about how fast people left. When I go to a public range I make every effort to position myself such that it does not offend those around me. I even carry extra hearing protection and offer to anyone I see might need it. And I do let those around me know that I'll be shooting a rifle with a break that's makes it loud.

The fact that your brake is extremely loud & uncomfortable to everyone else around you, to the point of causing them to leave rather than endure the report of your rifle, is a source of tremendous pride to you...? And your next move is to defend your position by throwing out political labels... That's great son, we're all proud of you...
I really hate to do what I am about to do, because it will be very painful for you.

Our range has a list of very strict rules about hearing and eye protection.. the range was packed they had a bench open and I need to sight the 300 in I cant help its loud! I was sighting my 6.5x55 in a few weeks ago next to a 338 lapua mag.. so not sure why people are getting offensive.. if people can handle big booms then leave.
EVERYONE HAD HEARING PROTECTION ON !!!!

Cleared a few benches around me a couple times at the Garland Range. One was a 7STW with a brake the other either cleared some benches for a ways, open up the 50BMG and either people want to get away from it or want to shoot it.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Daniel,
When you come to my range, bring all the brakes you want, on as big a rifle as you want. I've got hearing protection, and I'll be about three feet from you all day. No big deal.
