So I'm at the range yesterday by myself. I was waiting for a friend to show up. He calls me and says he will be delayed for about an hour. So while I'm waiting I decide to get all the targets ready and what not, get all set up, anyway I'm just sitting there relaxing and a few more show up. They start to shoot and while I'm sitting there I decided to pick up my binoculars and check out how some of them are doing. I stayed at my position on the line, I didn't walk over to any of them to watch. Nobody said anything but I'm sure they noticed that I was just sitting there and not shooting for almost 45 minutes. The woman next to me was having difficulty with her rifle, something to do with the magazine like it wasn't feeding the ammo correctly I think. She was getting pretty frustrated and someone with her was looking at it and what not, and I started to wonder if my casaually looking at her targets downrange plus sitting there on the line was making it worse or embarrasing her.
So my question is this. Do you mind if people watch you shoot? Is it bad etiquette to sit on the firing line and not shoot for awhile? (The place was nearly empty, I wasn't keeping anyone from shooting) Has anyone ever had this experience before, someone a few places down the line or behind you watching your targets as you shoot? If so, did it bother you at all? If not, would you care?
