What are some of your bad habits out there when your at the Shooting Range.

Mine is, that i move my saftey glasses up on my head when i talk. Then forget to put them back down.

Hmm, I tend to shoot people next to me by accident when I turn around to talk to people. :P

Seriously though, I go the range with every intention of aiming, but by the end of the day I just end up putting as many rounds down range as fast as I can.

Scratching my butt with a loaded gun and my finger on the trigger. I keep blowing my butt off.

Not being able to hear anybody with my hearing protection on, so if I am talking to somebody, I slid them off so I can hear, Then don't always slid them back on.

My wife says I'm always shooting my mouth off. But that is not limited to just being at the range.

I never wear safety glasses and then I complain when I have to clean all of the crap out of my eyes. I usually shoot at my friends indoor range and my glasses always fog. Thus, for this reason and others I hate to wear glasses. You can tell me I told you so after I lose an eye. Until then, I will continue living on the edge.

Running 3 or 400 rounds of ammo through various pistols and realizing that I didn't work on shooting skills like I intended and ended up learning nothing that day.

You go from a nice airconditioned store front to an non airconditioned shooting range. To be honest, I just hate glasses.

Yell at the idiots around me being unsafe. That distracts thema nd they turn around still holding the gun.

.

Actualy my bad habit is letting everyone try and shoot my guns. I forget some people shoud not try to shoot a .44 Mag with hot 180 gr JSP loads. I also tend to scare the living c**p out of some people at the range when I let off with one of those. Some have come to me and asked for a warnig the next time, complain of flash burns from the gun going off.
