Music at the range: yay or nay?

[LuvDog]

Setup right next to them with the loudest and most concussive brake you have

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

Exactly! Stop being poor!

I recently got a pair of noise-cancelling bluetooth capable ear buds made for range use. They are very convenient and work fairly well.

As for what the OP describes, ah NO!

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

This 100%. We got my octogenarian father who lives with us part time a set of AirPod Pro 2 earbuds last summer. All the TV’s are streamed through Apple TV boxes, so it’s a very simple and automatic connection. The only time I could get him to use the AirPods was when I was taking on online zoom class, the rest of the time it’s 80-100% volume on the TV echoing through the entire house. He’s also speakerphone only on any call, anywhere. I tired to explain that those same AirPods would work for calls and allow him to hear better, but he won’t even try. He also won’t consider hearing aids even though the VA would pay for them, nor will he try using the AirPods as hearing aids. f***ing old people…

Not something I would do, but it wouldn't bother me. What I do hate, though, is when people play music through speakers while hiking. On one hike, some hippies set up halfway up the trail with guitars and did a sing-along. It took everything in me not to lose it, but I guess that’s just a me problem.

Almost as annoying as motorcycles with music blaring. We've had Bluetooth for over twenty years but somehow numbskulls on bikes can't seem to understand that not everyone shares their shitty taste in music.

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?

a cultural thing.

just came back from spain, italians are the worst of it, really - but it for sure spreads.
there is a certain habit among less cultural species to put their smartphones on the max volume and play music or tictoc shit on a subway, or in the train while others try to sleep, or pretty much everywhere.

those who play anything loud in public spaces publicly disregard all the others. your freedom ends where my freedom begins, b$tch.

NO, NOPE, NO WAY. I like music, but I want to listen to it when I want to, on my own terms.

I am so glad I have my own range and don't have to deal with inconsiderate idiots like this.

 

[Twigg]

I'd say no. My range is rather isolated, and I like to keep my wits about me.

 

[glockforlife]

Call me old fashioned but No. I prefer to concentrate fully on the firearm, the target and safety for me and anyone else who is nearby.

 

[M30B35]

Hard no. I put this at the same level as people who hike with speakers. Someone else mentioned motorcycles too. Totally rude and selfish.

 

[ralphs]

This^, especially after listening to all of the music in the "What are you listening to?" thread.
I don't want to hear others' music when I'm on a bikepath, when a motorcycle drives by, at the beach, hiking, etc.

 

[40 Creedmoor fan]

Be respectful of others: get a headset with Bluetooth if you want to listen to music.

 

[Rob Boudrie]

Unless they are shooting a black powder canon and setting up for the 1812 overture, not a good idea.

 

[1903Collector]

Were they masquerading as a man with a reason?

 

[polska1957]

This type of behavior is why I have a Mosin Nagant carbine. Idiots that annoy me get a full 20 rds of this shorty. Anyone who hasn't heard one can't appreciate the blast or the flame that comes out. The original range toy!
