Anyone else become way more private about who they shoot with as they got older?
When I first got into shooting I’d pretty much go to the range with anyone who was interested. Coworkers, friends of friends, random people somebody brought along whatever. Over time I’ve gotten a lot more selective. It’s not even really about whether somebody is safe with a firearm because obviously that matters first. It’s more that shooting with someone ends up revealing a surprising amount about your life. They know what you own, where you shoot, sometimes where you live, when you’re out of town, who your friends are etc.
One of the older guys I shoot with is almost comically private about it. He has a small group of people he’s known forever, organizes everything directly and barely uses social media. Half the group talks through Signal a few of them use Kibu and nobody posts pictures until everyone’s okay with it. Ten years ago I probably would’ve thought that was paranoid. Now I kind of get it.
Has anyone else gotten more selective about their shooting circle over time or do you not really think about the privacy side of it?

Like you, I used to go to the range with anyone who was interested, and was pretty enthusiastic about it. Then, I got tired of constantly having to teach people or have people use me as a way to shoot guns.

u/wiltchamberlain1356 16h ago
With a decent/good friend i will almost always take them out once for free, and if they ever want to shoot again i tell them they have to buy the ammo for both of us for the range. I provide guns, instruction, space, they provide ammo so i get to “shoot for free”. Works out as a fair trade always

u/Electronic_Act_1046 16h ago
That’s usually the way I have done it as well, and good people will always understand and say like no way dude I know ammo is expensive please let me know what I owe. I usually still don’t make them pay but the sneaky ones will shoot a zelle lol. After first trip I honestly encourage them to start purchasing their own firearms and I will assist them. I don’t think I have went back a second time to the range with someone who didn’t end up buying a gun.

u/wiltchamberlain1356 15h ago
Yeah to be fair, everyone i took for the first time who wanted to shoot again, pretty much bought their own first firearm right after first time shooting, so this has never been an issue. But i also buy “crazier” more niche fun guns so I actually enjoy letting friends shoot them, cause otherwise they dony get shot much and the whole point of a crazy OD gun (to me, like 44 mag revolvers, semi auto 308, fun pdws) is to see the look of joy on someones face who gets to shoot something like that for the first time

The privacy part starts making a lot more sense once you’re around guys with $10k+ night vision setups, thermal optics, custom rifles, suppressors etc. At that point you’re not just casually showing someone a hobby you’re basically giving them a tour of tens of thousands of dollars worth of stuff you keep around I’d be selective too

u/GuiltlessCyclist2985 16h ago
Once the gear itself is worth that much, being selective stops sounding paranoid and just starts sounding sensible

u/AverageChatter1 17h ago
I honestly prefer to shoot alone most of the time I have stuff I like to work on. I go do it and leave. When I go with friends it turns into a longer session with more ammo spent and that’s fine but more once in a blue moon kinda thing. And I def don’t like shooting with randos I don’t trust people!

u/MK12Mod0SuperSoaker 8h ago
I used to think I liked shooting with friends, but apparently those friends I shot with had the same level of understanding with guns. I tried shooting with some less experienced coworker-friends who are trying to mimick their favorite guntuber setups (one literally copied an MCX setup down to the attachments) and it basically turned into me babysitting a bunch of em.
I don't mind helping newer shooters, but at some point I'd like them to have the initiative to learn some on their own too. Or I'm just getting old and crotchety idk.

u/billytoad631 16h ago edited 16h ago
Idk I always found it fun letting my friends mag dump my builds into piles of trash and seeing them enjoy it especially if they don’t really shoot much (obviously making sure they are doing it safely) For me my hobbies aren’t fun if I don’t enjoy them with my friends and family
That being said I don’t let strangers handle my stuff and if I’m going to an actual range with a goal in mind (sighting in/setting up a build etc) I’ll keep that trip smaller

u/SgtKashim 1 16h ago
Kinda?
I'm a member at a club, so every time I shoot there's "randos" there, but it's a private club. Everyone there is there for the same thing.
On the other side, I never discuss firearms with co-workers. Doesn't fit the culture of any company I've worked for. I have a standing invite for any of my close friends who want to learn, and one or two have taken me up on that... and that's about it.
When I was younger, and desperate to find a community, I did do a couple of group shoots with internet people, but I wouldn't do that anymore.

u/Alconium 16h ago
The only group shoot I ever did with internet weirdo's I almost saw some skinnyfat neckbeard open his friends head while bayonetting trash with a mosin and another guy ND'd while loading a shotgun during a cease fire (to their credit, everyone there had him pack his shit and ran him off.)
Never again.

u/Complete_jackass9999 12h ago
This is my typical range experience. One time I drove up and parked next to a truck that had just been shot twice. That means I was driving towards the range while someone shot at least twice in my direction. Honestly, there's too many stupid people to begin with and they all have guns when you go to the range. I'd prefer if I was the only person at the range when I shoot but that's not practical and so I avoid the place.

u/jake55555 9h ago
I’ve been in the military and shot a shotload, but ranges are nerve wracking lol. I went to a public range about a year ago to shoot with a buddy. While I was zeroing an ar a guy was 10 feet behind the firing line with an ar pistol right beside me and started mag dumping. Not even ten minutes later we started to walk down to change targets and a person at the far end let off a round. There was a lot of yelling to say the least.

I feel like an outlier in this thread.
A lot of my coworkers like shooting and enjoy going. Then again, I work for the federal government and live in Texas. Passing comments of someone being really into guns doesn't really turn any eyebrows in the office. We all go on a yearly dove hunt most years. And for people who didn't grow up around guns I'm totally down to let them shoot a hundred or so rounds of my ammo to share the enjoyment of the sport. Most of the time they offer to pay me but I politely refuse. I buy ammo cheap and stack it so it's whatever to get someone more comfortable with guns and into the sport.

u/viejomonje 16h ago
This is self-preservation.
I used to live in a country that was restrictive of firearms, and many people had very long tongues. The people I shot with was thoroughly vetted, and they vetted me. Anybody being too loud was quietly not invited anymore

I am still pretty open but I no longer take people shooting - I will meet up with people when I shoot.
I am not famous, but I am famous enough in this community that it is kindof unavoidable. People recognize me for the guns.
That being said, as I got older I started internalizing more that there are a lot of people that I wouldn't be friends with outside of the hobby, and having one thing in common doesn't change that.

u/Leidenfrost1 16h ago
Interesting post. It might be that a lot of people just tend to get more private and selective about everything as they've gotten older...
Social media is just plain saturated with everything at this point. I feel like there is nothing special on it anymore. Nothing will surprise anyone. Why even post?
Many people just don't keep their mouth shut about anything at all. Aside from personal privacy / security, for a lot of people that ruins the fun of many things. Not everyone wants to hear comments from other people. Too many opinions.
That and you don't always want more friends. Sometimes enough is enough. This can also be a reaction to the women in your life, which can often do the exact opposite. Something like, "I don't have to say anything, my wife if going to blab everything anyway..."

u/SliccDemon 10h ago
I mean, yes and no. I think the fact that this is specifically about firearms changes the dynamic some, but the consensus in the thread is interesting given how much I've heard about how hard it is to make friends as an adult.
Which is true to an extent, but I've moved around the country a decent amount for work and tend to make at least solid acquaintances where I'm at because I genuinely enjoy chatting with folks and can usually find some sort of shared interest. I have close friends whose circles have only shrank as they've aged (and gotten married and had kids, which I don't), but mine has only grown. I have basically the same very close inner circle I've had since I was a boy, but tons of other homies I care about and keep up with around the country.

I once took my then wife's friends husband out hunting for his first deer hunt. He seemed like a good guy/husband/father and was a vet. We hung out several times prior, he owned a couple firearms as well. I managed to get him in a blind with a crossbow and a 20 yard shot on a nice buck and he couldn't see it because "in the army I tapped my non dominant eye".
A couple weeks later he was arrested for beating her and chasing her around the yard with a hatchet.
So yeah, long term friends and family only at the range.

I stopped taking people to the range when they kept bringing only one box of ammo from the store and then used up all my ammo.

u/Electronic_Act_1046 16h ago
I’d say this is true, for one it is a safety concern. I beat a dead horse whenever I go out shooting with people I don’t know and just start from the beginning. Number two I’m kind of known as the gun guy for friends and family which lead to me taking people and instructing them and pretty much the whole day is about them which I get is cool….for them and me as well because seeing someone get involved with the 2nd amendment is a plus. Most of them do offer cash for ammo etc. and I don’t mind them using my guns as long as they ask before and are respectful (also one of my rules, you may shoot any of my guns I have out here today but just ask me before shooting each one so I can walk you through it). Number three as I am getting older I’m 35 now, with a wife and 3 kids, the time that I have to go shooting is now very limited. I’d rather go with my same 2-3 buddies or by myself and feel comfortable and just have a good time blasting and not have to worry about them. I think when your starting out, you were being taught and it’s exciting to enter the community and you kind of want to pass knowledge on as you were, as time goes on I’ll always pass on knowledge or if someone asks can I bring so and so I usually don’t mind and we will teach them and so on. But to answer your questions yes I do prefer my small group or by myself nowadays.

u/SheistyPenguin 16h ago edited 14h ago
I have some gun buddies I'm willing to share info with. But we trust each other enough in other ways, that them knowing what guns I own is the least of my concerns.
(Also they have nicer stuff than me, so I'm not worried about them coveting anything I own 😋)
I'm a little more guarded about discussing guns with neighbors and co-workers, because people can have strong opinions about it and I'm not looking to convert anyone.

u/SirFlannel 16h ago
I think it just may be another version of the normal constriction of your friend group as you get older. You probably don't gather socially with as many different friends as you used to in a lot of other situations, either. You have become more comfortable with fewer people. I don't invite any new people to the range, but I don't invite them to dinner, or a gathering at my home, either. There ARE people that I will jump at the chance to go to the range with, but those are older, closer friends, or family. My son is on active duty now, and I don't get to see him nearly as often as I would like, so if he comes in and wants to go shooting, pack up the safe, we're goin to the range!

I've always been selective with who shoots with me. Exactly because of you never know who they associate with when not around me. It always blows my mind when people post photos of their vacations while on the vacation! Our Nextdoor neighbors are in Hawaii right now celebrating their 10th anniversary! She's made several post of what they're eating and doing since arriving yesterday. Her mom is watching their cat at her mom's house, and oh how she's missing her! She was so excited her husband agreed to go, she made several post back in the Summer. My wife will post photos sometimes but it's always after we return.

It's mostly a family only thing at this point. It's not that I won't engage but the opportunities are less and less and I have to know you. I dropped my membership at our local range because after Covid it was a zoo and pretty stressful to be around. We have the luxury of a private range at our ranch and continue to improve it. Don't live there but get out every day when we're there for zero stress.

u/Jolly-Adeptness-3598 16h ago
I only go to the public range when it’s too dry to shoot safely on public land (basically all summer) most of the time i’m just shooting .22s and shotguns at the farm. The only time I invite people to shoot with me is when we’re planning to hunt together and getting our rifles dialed in.

I usually go shooting with a buddy almost always. And sometimes my brother and one of his co workers would come and join us.
But otherwise I kinda still like teaching new people how to shoot. Helps them a lot and build a memory with said person.

I had an acquaintance from college pick something up from my house one day. The next day, my house was broken into and they cleaned me out of everything but my guns in the safe.
After that, the circle got really small. I installed a beefier security system, and now I have 6 cameras recording my property at all times. Shooting circle is four people and my wife.

u/Sum1Xam 14h ago
I used to be very open about taking people shooting with me. I once took an acquaintance shooting because we had a common interest and both liked to shoot. He asked to bring his daughter (late teens) along. I agreed. His daughter dropped one of my rifles on a concrete slab and irreparably damaged the stock. All he said was, "that sucks." Didn't offer for him (or his daughter) to make it right. Since then, I'm pretty cautious about who I shoot with and even more cautious about who handles my firearms.

I used to be the same. I would go with a large group of friends and sometimes random people that other friends would bring along.
Now I’ll go with 1 or 2 close friends. I think it has more to do with my friend circle shrinking as I get older as opposed to wanting to keep things private.

I took a buddy with me to the range yesterday who’s been begging me to take him for like 4 months now. He’s been working at the same company as me for like a year now and a pretty competent person. I’ve been reluctant to bring him because there’s a language barrier, but he’s shown me videos of him shooting before and he seemed competent. I started him off with a tx22 with a red dot and explained how all you have to do is cover the target with the dot and that’s where the bullet would go. He shot really well. I brought out the ruger 1022 with red dot and explained the same thing about the red dot. Dude sent a bullet into the target carrier and we got kicked out of the range for the day. I think he was trying to use the rear iron sight and line it up with the red dot and was aiming way high. I would have caught it but he had asked me to video him shooting so I was looking through my phone and didn’t see it. He felt horrible, I was super embarrassed, and now I’ll probably never bring someone shooting that doesn’t have their own guns, and I’ll probably never go back to that indoor range.

u/Beginning-One-1557 14h ago
Im selective with who Im around, I also have my own range on my property so Im going to be selective anyways. I wont let anyone who has no experience with firearms on my range, I shoot with a few coworkers quite often but they all have a lot of experience and a few of them have military backgrounds including one guy who was tier 1. If they want to bring someone else like their kid or their wives or whatever they need to have handled firearms before as well. Im not worried about them knowing my schedule and what not because theres not a single entrance onto my property where you wont be on camera and I have family members who live very close by one of which being a state trooper. I absolutely think people need to start being selective with who they take, though if someone wants to learn firearms then thats fine as long as they don’t start treating you like someone they can use for guns and ammo whenever and they’re willing to understand the basics of firearms handling before actually going to a range.

u/Coldones 14h ago
I don’t really think about the privacy angle, but I’ve gotten way more selective for a different reason. Used to shoot with groups of friends all the time and now I mostly can’t stand it. When I go to the range I want to practice and get reps in. Most of my friends who shoot are turbo casuals who shoot maybe twice a yearr, so they roll up with their whole “collection” of like 10 guns. We end up sharing a lane and everybody wants me to “try” all these bullshit ass guns. It turns into show and tell

u/TheReal_Taylor_Swift 14h ago
Whenever I take friends or family I end up being the RSO for them and making sure they have a safe and fun time, since I get to shoot pretty much whenever I want. That being said, whenever I do go to the range myself it's usually for a specific reason like function-checking a setup or doing drills. I rarely go to just plink these days, unless it's with a .22

Not by choice. We all just kind of moved to different areas and life had people drift apart but .. I miss it. About 15 years ago we would have fair sized shoots with 20-50 people people brought their wifes and girlfriends. All sorts of firearms to try and BBQ out in the desert .
We would meet new people, arrange future shoots and sometimes complete strangers would come upon us and we would include them too.
Having come originally from NYC before moving to AZ I thought .. man if all the anti gun people could be here and see this group of mostly strangers, of different backgrounds and occupations having a hoot around guns and BBQ. it might change some minds. It was a blast.

That is kinda paranoid imo. If you filled out a 4473 you already have a trail anyway. If I send anyone pics the SN isn't visible. Other than that I don't own anything valuable enough to be worth tracking down and stealing while also not being valuable enough that its unsellable due to its provenance. I probably wouldn't brag to the guy standing outside the gas station that you have 30k in firearms and describe where you live but I see no cause for concern telling a coworker who knows the vague region I inhabit that I have a new build. I knew a guy that had a post sample mg mp40 stolen but he stored them on a rack in the garage and regularly loaned them out for movies and reenactments. That's a different situation imo and was dumb from start to finish

I honestly would rather shoot alone these days. Use to go to public, indoor ranges all the time. Then public outdoor ranges - but I've seen a lot of stupid shit at outdoor public ranges. Last time I went, there was someone showing off a full loaded .357 Magnum revolver. Pointed it directly at me and flagged the entire firing line. In the same trip, had someone start firing before everyone was back from down range. Now I try to only go to public ranges Monday morning around 8 AM, so no one is there for hours so I can have some PEACE and relative quiet.
