Shooting Skills? I Don't Think So.

I see things like this way too often at my local indoor range. You can see the cables hanging down after this shooter managed to shoot the guide that was well above the target. The target was at the 7 yard mark. Weekends are the worst.

I volunteer as an RSO at one of the local ranges and I pretty much refuse to go into the pistol range for that very reason. It's a partially covered range (out to about 5' from the firing line) and there are steel wide-flange columns spaced across the range holding the roof up. I'm normally in the rifle range next door and it's an hourly occurrence that I hear a "CLANG!" from someone on the pistol range shooting one of those columns.

The rifle range isn't immune either. Most of the range has a crushed stone base. In addition, the range abuts Percy Priest Lake so to help prevent "Flyers" landing on folks boating in the lake they put up steel plates across the entire range and about 15' in the air to keep them inside the range. Those plates are literally covered (as in hundreds) of rifle hits. And finally each firing point has a steel deflector to deflect any high-angle shots down into the range. They also are liberally peppered with hits.

I honestly cannot how people can shoot so badly. I don't think I have ever missed that badly but maybe I did.
