I must say he did scare the crap out of every one there.
The public ranges are run by the dnr here there was another time i was there working on a blk powder gun when two guys come in one was drunk off his butt.
my brother inlaw notified a range officer and he came down and watched while the sober one was shooting the gun when he was done he was going to let the drunk shoot and the dnr told him he would arrest both of them if he shoots the gun so they left with the dnr fallowing.

I saw a similar situation a couple years ago on a private club range. A few of us were shooting on the rifle range when a kid ~8-9 yr old that was obviously bored watching daddy shoot trap got curious and came up over the berm between the 2 ranges about 1/2 way down to see what was there. One guy went ballistic on the kid, and I kind of felt bad for him. Daddy though was the one that needed his tail kicked. I don`t know how people can take a youngster out to place like that, ignore them while they shoot, and not think they`ll end up some place they shouldn't`t be.
