People who don't wait for the cease-fire to go downrange, people who sweep everyone with their muzzle because they're oblivious. people who leave brass everywhere when the range asks you to clean up. And the guy who brings his cannon magnum to the indoor range and makes everyone's ears ring. Be considerate!!!
 
When I was taking my ccw class the instructor was telling us about someone bring in a .50 bmg in to the indoor range at Doug's and fired it off without telling anyone and gave the instructor a bloody nose and a mild concussion from the muzzle blast.
I don't like going to shooting ranges I prefer to shoot on public land but that has also been problematic due to incompetence and people being such freaking slobs about leaving their trash and shells and hulls everywhere.
 
Loud people talking when everyone is supposed to be quiet. Ranges need you to concentrate..just being a little considerate makes things safer and less annoying for everyone.
 
What bugs me most is when strangers yell advice. If I don't ask for help, let me figure it out. If there's something unsafe, tell me but everything else can wait.
