Music at the range: yay or nay?

[G4Y4HK]

Play Rammstein's DU HAST on loop as you're shooting your shiny HK MR762.

 

[goslow]

'Ride of the Valkyries' might be OK.

 

[Rocky Mosasaurus]

No, reverberating gong steel only

 

[SHOCKNAWE]

Never even considered playing music at the range

I'm not interested in listing to music while shooting, it's a good idea to have the option to verbally communicate while at the range and not get it drowned out by music.

Indoor range with lanes? I'd be really annoyed but would just deal with it I guess or pack up and leave

 

[BostonVI]

Bluetooth ear buds under the ear protection. Everyone doesn't need to hear your music, especially if they are they are trying to focus.

I'll do this from time to time if I'm not using a timer. Just listening to this makes me want to go shoot.

 

[Mountain]

Music at the range? My vote is neither but rhymes with both yay and nay.

 

[LakeTrout]

No one should have to listen to anyone else’s music anywhere. Keep it to yourselves, retards. Even if I like the same music, it’s rude AF to be playing it out loud in public.

 

[MaroonedinMA]

If other people’s music tastes weren’t so dubious it wouldn’t bother me. And if a frog had wings…

 

[deerdad]

Has to be under the right circumstances

[Bodhisattva]

1812 Overture or step off.

Adagio For Strings

'Ride of the Valkyries' might be OK.

Flight Of The Bumble Bee?

 

[BroncoAZ]

Nope... I don't want to hear anyone's music out in public.

So you’re not feeling the latin speaker cars?

Can't these people get ear pro with bluetooth in it?

Probably geriatric bikers. "Let's see, I'm gonna cut the mufflers off so it'll be really loud, then I need to crank my tunes up really louder so I can listen to my shitty country music. Can't function without some a**h*** singing to me. What's Bluetooth?"

Especially when I need to use double ear pro for some of my rifles.

So are YOU that prick who can't find any place to shoot outdoors, so brings his extra-loud Blammo Special with muzzle brake and other sound enhancers to Cape Gun Works, who cannot figure out how to separate Blammo Special posers from y'know, normal people who just want to maintain proficiency with lessor, non-show-off guns? Please tell me that's not you.

 

[Brin747]

If I am alone, yes to music. Sharing the club range with others, no, that would be rude.

 

[Tartakovsky]

I'll only shoot if 'Playing With The Boys' from the Top Gun soundtrack is playing. It's my walk-on music. I'm usually shirtless so it makes sense.

I won't take any of my guns into the PRM, so it's not me.

Could always put the DOOM music on loop when shooting via mega speakers.

So I'm at the indoor range today and this older husband/wife couple pops in sets up their stuff (the "oshkosh jeans with white reboks" kind). I'm shooting and in between shots I'm hearing "carry on my wayward son, don't you cry no moooorrrre" and I'm like WTF? I peek over and they have a freggin bluetooth speaker on the table! It took me a few seconds to process this. They have their earmuffs on!

It just never occurred to me to have music while shooting, especially since my ears are blocked. In my car, music is mandatory, but while I'm shooting I never thought of "yeah yeah! we're rocking! blam blam!". I don't freggin know anymore.

WHAT SAY YOU FAM?

MUSIC AT THE RANGE OR NOT?

What you describe is not "music at the range" but sheer stupid.

I take it they had it playing fairly loudly?

 

[Abe Froman]

Are you oiled up too?

Hell yeah, bro. Dog tags swingin', Ray Bans blingin', sweat a-flingin'. I'm the real deal.

 

[Agnotology]

1812 Overture or step off.

WITH CANNONS!

I say put your music maker out on the berm and let the shooters decide.

One "AD" and that speaker's gone

 

[MC56]

I never used to play music but I've found playing some quiet music through bluetooth ear pro helps me focus and stay on task at matches. I can still hear/communicate as needed. It also helps drown out the occasional annoying and distracting squad mate.

People who bring their speakers to public places & play music as if everyone wants to hear it piss me off

Agreed...only to be topped by public speaker-phone conversation people.

 

[puška m70]

Not unless it's coming from MY Bluetooth speaker

 

[Golddiggie]

Agreed...only to be topped by public speaker-phone conversation people.

Yeah, that annoys the piss out of me. WE don't need to hear both sides of that conversation. Either use earbuds or hold the thing to your head. I ONLY use speaker phone when at home or if it's through the truck's hands free setup even then, I keep my windows up since I don't want the world knowing MY business.

 

[PatMcD]

I shot at the Gary Andersen Airgun range in Ohio. They had music playing there. It wasn't loud, because it didn't have to be, but I kind of liked it. I believe they also play music at the NCAA matches (maybe the Olympics too?).
At any other range? No. Turn that shit off.

 

[HARRYM]

No please.

You could always shoot the radio and claim it was an accident. They might get the hint.

 

[rewster]

I’m all for having a good time but this is on par with all the entitled people that bring their dogs to the grocery store.

Edit to add - outdoor range with no one in ear shot, sure, rock out but not at an indoor range

Sorry ! I'm at the outdoor range to SHOOT ! I don't need or want someone's music in my ear !!!

Sorta like the time many years ago when a stranger at the club convinced me to shoot a string through his chrono ! He was sorry !!!!

They are old people,, they don't know about bluetooth !
