99% of the time they're good for a joke and an unbelievable hunting story. I'm of a mindset /k/ has been run off because they fired half their mag into the ceiling and needs to make shit up.
I've never actually so much as shared a word with an RSO before. They see me doing my thing and leave me be, and I've never had to ask them for anything myself. Hopefully I can keep this going.
They're mostly just old dudes looking for company because they can't stand being in the house, can be rather annoying but that's hard to discern until you talk to them and boy that can be an event. I ran into one old crusty frick who was in gun company gear head to toe but he said he wears that to stop people from talking to him. Ended up talking about gunsmithing with him over coffee at the range.
>They're mostly just old dudes looking for company because they can't stand being in the house,
Boo fricking hoo for them. They can wipe their tears with their social(ist) security check.
I'd feel much different if it was a greatest or silent gen guy, but boomers can get fricked.

I got it the first time, m80.
My local indoor range doesn't have RSOs. They don't even care if you rapid fire as long as your shots are on target, which is pretty strange for these parts. Most ranges of shot time rules
We are going to talk revolvers. I’m going to listen to all his stories about shooting the Bianchi Cup every year and we will be friends. We will share a smirk after he kicks you out for NDing your Glock into the ceiling again.
The boomer in my gold forsaken Bay Area city struggle to keep the ranges open. Politicians are always trying to shut them down and only one indoor range exists in a city with over 1 million. Thankfully there is beautiful BLM land within an hours drive.
He's wearing his pants at the waist line, which would be the naval. It's the correct way to wear pants and he cared enough about his appearance to actually tuck in his shirt and not be ashamed of the appearance of it. Seems like a good dude. Personally I'm more about them suspenders. You can adjust them manually a lot easier than a belt but I also like to stick with something light weight with an elastic band when I do. Kinda like pajamas sort of quality, even if you get those steel grippy things it just doesn't work well on cotton jeans or otherwise cotton products. You really have to double up on suspenders and a belt and at that point you might as well have a belt you wear as a belt and not a thing that holds up your pants. I know it sounds dumb but if you're pants are shitty quality and you know your suspender isn't going to work you're going to spend a lot of time re-adjusting your pants with your belt on it. I like to wear both if I got a gun on my belt, then you don't have to use the belt loops and constantly re-adjust it.
My first experience with an RSO was him insisting that to shoot a target 50ft away I had to set the sights on my Mosin to 5. Even as a teenager I knew that was wrong and that setting was for 500, ended up giving up and firing a few rounds at that setting until another RSO came up and managed to talk some sense into him.
I'm still in disbelief that I was supposed to tip range officers all these years and I never knew. You mean I have to pay for membership fees, pay markup on guns I buy in the store AND they get to keep my brass, and I still have to pay their employees for them?
>supposed to tip range officers
What?
I've been to many indoor ranges and never heard this.
Also, no fricking way I'd tip a RO.
At best they are endured.
At worst they make the range unusable. > some have "go away" heat with me, brother.
I have never met a good RSO, every single one has been a complete hardass that refuses to allow anything even slightly outside of what they personally consider correct >go to indoor range near me >already not a fan of it, RSOs there are all 60 years/250lbs minimum >still, no choice because my usual range banned me over a ND (not my fault) >pay the range fee, set up on lane >decide to start off with some AR practice >doing a simple fire from cover drill >not even two cycles in when RSO runs over >starts loudly b***hing about how you're only allowed to fire from a standing position >yeah, because in a real life situation I'm totally going to be standing straight up in the middle of an aisle >whatever, move on to simulated rifle jam to sidearm draw drill >literally don't even have time to finish one before RSO Tubbs comes waddling over >this time he's complaining that all guns need to be pointed downrange >trying to explain to him that the whole point of a rifle sling is being able to drop your rifle when it jams to draw your sidearm >he refusing to hear anything I say >this close to walking out but stay because I don't want to have wasted 20 bucks >since apparently I can't do anything approaching an actual drill, just decide to practice rapid fire sidearm accuracy >first mag almost entirely hits the target, last couple went a little, tiny, itty-bitty high >RSO comes out again with manager and yells at me to leave
And that's how I learned to literally never go to any range ran by fudds
Nogunz here, I’ve been to an indoor range and shot from a standing position and the range guy was friendly and helped me out. Are you allowed to do stuff like fire while crouching and simulate a rifle jam? Or am I just responding to a copy pasta
You sound like the biggest gay. Now tell us the ND story or ge’out.
Friend was shooting my gun, stopped and took the mag out but didn't clear the chamber. Handed to me and I saw the hammer was still back. Dropped the hammer and it went off. 100% his fault, you never hand someone a loaded gun like that.
I've had an RSO just sit and frick around on her phone while I was the only one shooting in an indoor range. I even did a magdump and she didn't even bat an eye at me. It sounds to me like you're a known problem child who tries to push the indoor range rules as much as possible for your gay "drills" to make the RSOs uncomfortable with your presence. Also how the frick is an ND not your fault?
>I once met a cool RSO therefore you're a child
Yeah okay
>100% his fault, you never hand someone a loaded gun like that.
100% YOUR fault. You always check the chamber of a gun handed to you even if you JUST watched the guy handing it to you check it. You put an unloaded gun down and leave the room and come back and pick it up YOU CHECK THE CHAMBER.
Imagine applying that logic to anything else. >ride with buddy to gas station >he goes inside to buy beer >while he's inside, cut the brake lines >we crash
Haha dude 100% your fault the owners manual says to do a thorough inspection of your car before driving it
>takes less than a second to check the chamber. >super easy to drop a hammer with even the weakest finger strength >still somehow fricks up.
Just point your finger and yell “bang” anon you clearly shouldn’t be trusted with a firearm.

I've never visited any indoor range that allowed this type of shit. In fact, most indoor ranges require some type of demonstration of proficiency to draw from a holster... And I fricking get it. I've seen some top tier bullshit at the range where the RSO doesn't even have to yell at them because I already did. Don't be a fricking homosexual.
I don't have to deal with ROs because I don't shoot with randoms. Any one of those 40IQ morons could make a "mistake" and put a speer gold dot through my leg and that's a risk I'm not willing to take.
If that guy can't be trusted to keep his fricking gut in check, you think he can be trusted with a firearm? No fricking way.
PHIL.. LOOKING GOOD TODAY. HOWS THE DIALYSIS TREATMENT GOING? HAHA ! YEA I BET THE WIFE HATES SEEING THOSE BUDWIESERS IN THE FRIDGE. ANYWAY YOU GOT ANY MORE OF THOSE 357 MAG RELOADS OF YOURS? ? .. COOL ! GONNA TRY THEM OUT ON MY ORIGNAL COLT PYTHON. YEA THEY SURE DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THEY USED TOO !
Well he looks a bit more professional to call a sir than a bro, what's the skinny on purple shirt there? She got a boyfriend? I still got a few drinks to get my beer goggles on yet.
One time a fat old boomer wanted to show me and my buddy his ccw so he took out a gaudy, multi colored Taurus subcompact from his waste and then immediately flagged us and dropped it. Kinda a power move I have to admit
I got a job at a gunstore/range and have to be an RSO almost every day. What should I do to avoid triggering you guys if I encounter you?
I have no funny stories to tell yet, but I am developing a further hatred of non-whites because they're the only ones that bring loud as frick SBRs to the indoor range.
RSOs at my range can be hit and miss >Got told to carry my slung rifle barrel down, walked 30 paces, next RSO told me to carry it barrel up. >Old boomer wanted me to single load my nugget. Literally asked me not to use the internal magazine "because it's not needed for target practice". I did not comply. >got told to 'stop handling firearms during a ceasfire' when I stapled a target to a board.
Plenty of good experiences with cool old dudes who would have gone to the range with Jesus. >bought new 20in scattergat to the range to see how it patterns with #4 shot >RSO sees me and asks me not to shoot because the range is busy, unless I'm shooting slugs >ok fair enough, good chance I'll spray other people targets >propose to make cut-shells >"What in the world is a cut-shell" >explain the concept of cutting around the hull so it seperates rather than the crimp opening >RSO smiles and says "Well I can't let you shoot modified ammunition at this range, but if you happen to have slugs in your car, thats fine" and gives me a wink >Go make some cut-shells and have a coffe >proceed to throw the poor mans slugs through paper and ending up with more keyholes than the locksmiths wholesale warehouse. >RSO says in his 40 years of shooting he's never seen slugs that bad *wink wink*
You've lost a little weight. Last Time I was here you were 400lbs, you don't look an ounce over 395lbs.
You and me, fellas.
We're having a jerkoff session today.
Looking good OP!

SS is a fine concept frick off moron. Blame the politicians for opening it up to morons who's only skill is having a wet hole.

What is the appropriate amount to tip the RSO?
2-4" if you don't talk, however much you've got if he's nice.
You're supposed to tip range officers?
Yeah
tip him with the tip of your dick.
Give him 45ACP for his Kimber 1911.
I could use a set of tactical 5 Hour Energy holsters

do fatgays really?
Boogie2988 said his doctor called it a meat apron.
Paunchificus maximus
He probably has a ton of good load data and may even let you borrow some dies if you befriend him.
I’d shoot the shit with that old man. He probably knows more than 99% of /k/ despite any fuddlore he might pop off.
Is that one of those Aristocrat sight ribs? I've always wanted to try one of those.
Cool
this is the look of a man who eats grits for breakfast every day before sending strange incoherent facebook messages to their children.
There was a pretty good boomer thread on PrepHole a couple days ago
pretty good
That thread is pure gold. I miss this kind of OC.
I live in a van down by the river
He'd probably be an OK guy to have a beer with after, unlike 99.9% of the socially inept spergs on /k/.

I consistently outboomer the boomers. I'm the millennial with a brown Bess at the range.
Thank you for for removing jaquellius and his 7.5 AR from the facility
He looks like a man who knows his donuts.

Haha dude 100% your fault the owners manual says to do a thorough inspection of your car before driving it
The opportunity cost of checking a gun anytime it enters your hand is very low. The cost of fricking up with it can be very high. You do you though.
>get handed gun
>see hammer is back
>pull trigger
What a dumbass
>takes less than a second to check the chamber.
>super easy to drop a hammer with even the weakest finger strength
>still somehow fricks up.
Just point your finger and yell “bang” anon you clearly shouldn’t be trusted with a firearm.
100% your fault dude. You always check the chamber, everytime, no matter what.
It takes a split second to do the whole check and ease springs. Literally no excuse to not do that.
I've had an RSO just sit and frick around on her phone while I was the only one shooting in an indoor range. I even did a magdump and she didn't even bat an eye at me.

Also Reagan sucked

The rso at my range sweeps up brass and offers it back to the shooters. I thought that was a very nice thing to do
I hate fudd RSOs, had one that would tax stamp check people unironically, just started using private ranges for mag dumping my transferable.

of course, you can have any brass that comes out of it
Howdy ol' fella, mind you if I try this 3d printed 11.5 inch FRT ar 15 with my brand new quad stack 50 round magazines?
The guy unironically looked like this the first time I went shooting at an indoor range. Real nice old guy, let me try his 357mag colt python.
