Watching people at the range in my peripheral vision today.
What do you think goes through the minds of others when they shoot?
Here are mine from today, what’re your favorites?
*”Hey, if I can’t hit this target from 7 yards slow fire… let’s move it to ten and go rapid fire!”
*[surveys target with 6 misses and one head shot] “Got ‘em!”
Usually their motto/what's going through their minds is I wonder why that guy is leaving as I depart the range.
I prefer to shoot by myself most of the time and with our club's set up generally have a bay to myself. If someone shows up and begins to occupy an area I'm on, I generally pleasantly say Here, I was just leaving.
But, back to your original post: a lot of the well-groomed metrosexual beard oil guys I see are probably thinking Gee my shooting kit looks hot!
Adding nothing to the conversation since 2015....

Keep your finger off the trigger unless you don't feel like it
Never point your muzzle at anything you aren't prepared to explain "It's not loaded" to
Be sure of your target and whatever is behind it is their problem
I wish the short guy on lane 14 would stop beeping.

Taking a break from social media.

"Huh, that's weird. Must be a bad batch of ammo. Or maybe my barrel is shot out? Must be the scope! I bet if I buy a Nightforce, that group will tighten up2

"Here on a date with my girlfriend. I'm not a very good shoot, but I bet if I shoot fast she'll still think I'm a badass and I'll for sure get laid tonight."
Morgan Freeman is of course necessary to narrate the fact that he did not in fact, get laid that night
Christmas eve last week:
Right of me: "I'm having fun"
Left of me: $235 for 3 belts of 50 rds on a M249? Still fun.
"I'm a judgey douche and I'm so much better than all these other people here at the range"
I'm thinking of having that done in Latin across my back. Along with "don't flag me bro" on a forearm.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
