I've only been successful with two people going with me on two seperate occasions.

You're lucky. Going to the range with five fucking new shooters is a recipie for disaster, if anything, two is maximum. Way too much fuckery with five. I've stopped caring and instead, I'm worrying more about my progession as a shooter for now on.

For a lot of people shooting a gun is intimidating, they talk about it the same way they talk about going skydiving.

Also people are lazy and cheap.

I work at a best buy and my coworkers constantly go shooting with me

No idea what you're on about

>feel like going to range
>don't feel like shooting alone
>call friends with guns
>they're not busy
>pick them up cuz big car
>we go together
>have fun
>make fun of losers shooting by themselves

It's too damn expensive. They all love the idea, until it's time to drop cash. It was the same when I was a kid and paintballed

You think that's bad? Try bringing friends or guests to a range in the UK

it is like $100 to rent a gun +100 rounds of ammo. it's not like it is that expensive for someone who has an actual job.

Yeah it's annoying, if only they stopped bringing it up to get together and go shoot. Yet they are the ones sending that text 20 mins before the meet up saying they can't make it.

In my case it's been a year and a half of my co workers flaking out at the last minute. I don't even talk about it anymore cause it's stupid. I just tell them I already went shooting and can't go even if they promised they'd show up.

Most people would rather drop a bill on a dinner or something shit tier like that. I don't make the rules anon

Ive got lots of guns and ammo, money isnt a big deal. What i really dislike is paying for range time. When youre paying $15-25 an hour, it really takes some of the fun out. But i shoot outdoors 99% of the time
