Mad as Hell!!!

[paulh]

Was looking forward to going to my indoor range today to give my pistols a little exercise. I get there the owner tells me the range is closed cause some ******* wipe brought a caliber weapon that wasn't allowed and fired it causing extensive damage to the backstop. It just takes one yahoo to spoil it for all the rest of us. He said it 'll be out of commission for awhile. He said around $10,000 to fix. Don't know if this is accurate but he's probably in no rush to fix since the weather is getting better and most people will be outdoors now.

I went there to shoot Friday too and was bummed. Luckily I was able to shoot at an Outdoor range later that day but that sucks it's out until who knows when.

 

[throttletony]

that sucks man, sorry for your shooting and even more sorry for the owner

Just be glad it wasn't a tracer round.

Military tracer rounds cause raging fire and explosions at Texas gun range

The hell caliber could do that much damage to a backstop, and where can I get it?

$10,000 damages? What, did the slugs carry on out into the parking lot?

I'm sure he has some insurance. If his business is at all profitable, he isn't going to close up shop over $10,000.

It just wasn't meant to be for you today, friend. Don't be 'mad as hell', just spend the time doing something else you like to do.

if that makes you "mad as hell" then it's time for some anger management classes.

Ok, maybe the correct term would be mildly upset. Haven't been shooting in awhile and I was really looking forward to going

$10,000 damages is too much. Owner of the club should see that type of caliber should not be use in future to avoid the damage.

What the heck kind of handgun round could cause that kind of damage? And hopefully, while he's making repairs, he'll 'upgrade' to handle whatever handgun rounds are on the market currently. ANY range worth it's salt should be able to handle S&W 500's, .223 handguns, whatever.

$10,000 damage from some pistol rounds?
Was he shooting one of these or what?

 

[shootersix]

i'd be mad at the employe's, didn't they check the gun before they took it in the range?, im sure the people working there knew what rounds were safe to fire.

 

[MemphisR32]

Which range?

 

[scoutsniper]

ya which range?

 

[Light]

Pistol Caliber Rifle I'm guessing?

 

[shootersix]

its evansville, it has to be strictly shooting, thats the only indoor range

 

[Movealongmovealong]

All it takes is one jerk with some AP rounds to destroy a sophisticated and very expensive bullet trap. I've heard of it before.
