Note to self
A guy that only taped once? Must be an issue. You should offer to carry his range bag.
I am done taping So who is carrying my range bag?
Probably the same guy that carried your tub of brass.

The best thing I have seen to shut up a loud mouth is to consistantly beat them. You can start jacking with them, if you wish at that point but only if you are good at turning your focus on and off.
If they know you get flustered, your only choice is to resquad.

I try to take these people as opportunities to practice attentional focus and mental control.
It seems like my mind is always trying to work on the shiny, noisy things that are going on in the environment rather than the Zen state I'm working to achieve while shooting. In other words, if that "guy" that makes everyone nuts wasn't there, something, or someone else would enter my thoughts in his place.
So, I try to be grateful for the opportunity to focus in the face of strong distraction. I try to see it as an opportunity for growth and practice of the mental disciplines I came to the range to work on in the first place.
Some of those ass hats have really helped me improve! Some have brought me close to giving up on the sport.

Wow, a heckler in shooting sports.
Reminds me of Shooter McGavin from the comedic golf movie, Happy Gilmore.

It's one thing for buddies to pick at each other on the range, however I would have a major issue with some talking crap at a shooting match. I am pretty sure most of the people I shoot with would also not tolerate it.

Give him chocolate chip cookies, instead of chocolate chips substitute Ex-lax. He will be in the crapper instead of running his mouth on the range.
Problem solved....

I usually just stand really close to them within their personal bubble. I practice farting and burping quite often.
