I was out at the range this morning and was "fortunate" enough to be joined by some newbies.
I like to start out shooting with my .22's (a 617 and a 41) just to warm up my front site focus. About 3 boxes into it, these two younger guys come in with a rented Desert Eagle and start shooting at a sillouette. They couldn't hit it if their lives depended on it and were done before I even had a chance to pull out my other guns.
I've got the Pro Ears Electronic hearing protectors so I can hear everything they say when they're not shooting, which was entertainment alone. As they were leaving though, I heard one say to the other how quiet my guns were shooting. The other one replies, "that's because he's only shooting .22's -- girls shoot .22's"
I didn't say anything, just chuckled to myself. I've heard it said before when I'm shooting my .22's and it never bothers me. Usually if they stay long enough, I pull out the 9mm's, the .45's, and the .357's.
Anyone ever hear something like that when they're shooting their .22's?
