Express Action Sports

I got myself a Marlin 981t bolt action that holds 17 rounds if they are 22lr, 25 rounds if they are 22short.
I made some home made "speed loaders" from plastic tubes and foam ear plugs.
I get to the range, take the rifle from the case, dump one stick of 17 rounds of Remington HP and start firing on this target at 25 yards… http://www.birchwoodcasey.com/sport/images/Products/47026_lrg.jpg
Five shots, 4 hits and one to reset. The Marlin is sweeeet! I did the 5 shots in about 40 seconds. I do it again, about 30 seconds. I realize a bunch of people are looking at me. I did it as fast as I could, about 25 seconds. There’s still two shots left in the rifle. I’m 25 hits for 25 shots, open sights.
The range officer asks me to empty the gun and not come back until tomorrow! I broke the "no rapid fire rule". I didn’t know they had one! I’m tuning up to join the metallic silhouette league that runs 8 matches, March, April, May, June then August, September, October, November. One match a month.
Like I said, it is sweeeet. It was $189.99 the dealer cleaned it and laser sighted it for 25 yards before I picked it up.
Isn’t the whole point to do this fast? Why do you think they REALLY kicked me out. Do you shoot silhouettes? How fast is fast? Thanks.
duh, 15 hits for 15 shots. Not qu**r. 33 years old, married, small business owner, almost "successful".

You must be in a blue state. Even in the purple state of Pennsylvania (Blue in Philly and Pitt, pretty Red everywhere else) people get worked up over magazines over 10 rounds. Dumping the home made speed loader of 17 rounds would freak me out. Hitting a 1" target at 25 yards is OK, but if it was something I graded, it would only be a C-.
