Ok, so totally venting here. Turn back now if you don't want to take part in some group bitching...
Obviously this isn't exclusive to shooting, but god my local shooting range has some vocal d**kheads at it these days.
On my latest trip one guy in particular just couldn't leave anyone alone.
I was there for a couple of hours, and every time someone new was just about finished setting up at their bench he be there saying:
Pffft, why are you using a muzzle break...
What weight pills are you shooting... Those are too light...
Why'd you waste you're money on a that rifle... A tikka/ruger shoots just as well...
Japanese glass is a waste of money, you should have got a....
That's the wrong powder for this load...
Everyone should be able to shoot this... if not your just making excuses...
I reckon he only put about 20 shots down range, and lectured more people than that...
Seriously, if someone asks for some help or your opinion on something then go for it.
If someone's about to do something really stupid, say something.
Short of that, people need to learn to keep there opinions to themselves
