stay away from mall ninjas.

avoid being near AR and other rifles, very hard on the ears.

relax and be comfortable in the knowledge that the vast majority of people you see at a range suck royally at shooting and don't know half what they think about shooting.

if someone ever says to you 'hey if you don't mind i'm gonna run some drills' pack your **** up and get to a safe distance. True story some clown decked out in soldier of fortune nonsense said this to me once and within 30 seconds was kneeling playing with his pistol like he was friggin john wick or something and had his loaded AR pointed directly at me (behind him).

i'm a bit jaded but there is just so much dumb****ery at ranges i do my best to avoid them or at least only go when i think it will be deserted.
