What the heck is a "fudd"?

Vanilla Ice is doing a home improvement show now.
In each episode of DIY Network's The Vanilla Ice Project, Vanilla Ice (aka Robert Van Winkle) and his crew of contractors get down to business and renovate a different room of the home. He'll pound nails and call the shots in this room-by-room renovation.

gentlemen please

this p#ssing contest is old and lame. on another note, if not for all the recent interest by mostly young people ie IDPA IPSC black rifles red rifles and tacticool the firearms hobby would be nearly dead. we need new blood more than anything and to me anything that does that is good and welcome. If we allow ourselves to be divided the antis will win for sure.

What would happen if all the so called "Fudds" were gone? Who would run the Ranges? Who would score for you? Who would clean up your mess? Who would tell you what your doing wrong? :)
Not all Fudds are Antis. They may not like what you shoot but I don't think they would want you to loose it. Maybe there is something to be said about respecting your elders. After all I think we are all in this together.
I think there should be a national respect your local "Fudd" Day. After all it was probably a so called "Fudd" that got you into the shooting sports in the first place.

Fudds

The respect only goes one way. Not one "non-Fudd" would begrudge you having fun hunting, shooting clays, whatever floats your boat. But in return we get these rules about "no rapid fire", stinkeye moments if you have a semiauto anything (except maybe a shotgun) and the guy who stands silently behind you while you shoot your VZ (with scary banana-mag pinned to 5 rounds) looks over your firearms and makes (at best) a non-committal grunt.

WRONG.

I clean up my mess, and anytime the range is a mess I clean up. The one who runs the range is by far not a FUDD. He supports our rights and respects everyone and doesn't give 2 s**ts what other people shoot. Although he maybe only into skeet guns and geese, he taught me how to skeet with his own nice 5k shotgun.

Respect the elderly's? I respect everyone who gives respect to me, don't care how old or young. You might have your definition of FUDD all wrong, I didn't mean to come off as insulting in the first place.
 
I had a man who I presume was a Fudd tell me that I was too young to shoot. (I'm 16) He then went on to ask me what my first gun was going to be, I said a Ruger 10/22, and he then told me that was stupid. He then proceeded to leave two empty boxes of ammo and forty-ish casing on the ground for me to trip over.

On the other hand I've had a Fudd give me some great shooting tips despite the fact that he disagreed with my taste in guns.



Every gun owner should respect every other owners taste in firearms, otherwise there won't be shooting sports for us to enjoy.

Just out of curiosity, why would anyone hate handguns???
They've been around longer than anyone on this thread...

He "he taught me how to skeet"? How so you Skeet?
 
@Win/64
I didn't mean I saw people on this thread hating on handguns, but I've heard people at the range (most of them in their senior years) complaining about handguns and talking about them as if they were something that was relatively new to the firearms market.

Jesus Christ, yes, he taught me how to shoot skeet. What is so mindboggling about that part holy s**t I can't make it anymore simple. Took an entire winter before I started catching on.

Skeet shooting is a good excuse to buy another Shotgun.:)
