    Default Drove an hour to the range and didn?t shoot a single round.

    Hung out in the pits instead. (Not me in video)

    Saw the title and expected some story about forgetting your ammo at the house.

    Attempted clickbait title to bring in the masses.

    Fair enough.

    I always enjoyed pulling and marking targets. The crack of the bullets going overhead always brought me joy.

    Scoring disc, so the shooter back on the line knows if it was an X, 10, 9, 8, etc…..

    Tell me you've never worked in the pits (Marines call them "Butts") without telling me.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    That's cool. Always good to help out. I'm sure the help was appreciated. These events that draw people to shooting can't happen without volunteers. I spent two hours at the trap club yesterday and didn't take a shot. Chatted with a few people, pulled some weeds, and took a turn filling a machine. There's a lot more to being part of the shooting community than owning a gun and sending rounds downrange.
