Now see, you just had to be there, i was playing clint eastwood and about half way through go ahead punk make my day i drew hoping to get the jump on the bad guy target and pulled the trigger too late and shot high. i never knew gun ranges had bouncers until then.
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.

Nineteen hundert and ninety two, Orlando Florida. Navy Boot camp.
There were two things a certain demographic could not do well.
Shoot a 7 yard target and swim.
Prior to shooting, one fellow was showing off where he had been struck by 38 bullets.
Tough guy.
Couldn't swim and couldn't shoot.

I think the solution is to have “leaning trees” installed at every indoor range.

which is why i NEVER go the the range on any holiday or weekend...my club however, is the exception, we actually respect things at my club...
public ranges, there just isn't any respect, and way too many morons think they can shoot, then try to teach a friend how to destroy a place as well.
