So, this past weekend, I was at a local unsupervised state run range with a few friends to have some fun and blow off some steam.\u00a0 The range is set up with a 50 yard berm on the left, 100 in the center, and then a 25 on the right.\u00a0 We had set up on the left so we could use the 50 for the short range stuff, and one of the 100 yard targets for the bigger rifles.<\/p>\n
I was watching one of the guys try my Henry GoldenBoy when I spotted someone walk down range to set up targets on the 25 yard berm!\u00a0 I immediately tap my buddy on the shoulder and let him know what was up and to cease fire.\u00a0 I ask my other buddies if they had hear the call to go cold, and they say they had not.\u00a0 I ask the group next to me, and they had not.<\/p>\n
*sigh*<\/p>\n
I walk over to the guy as he’s walking back to have a little “chat.”\u00a0 I kept it good natured and explained to him why he should check before wandering down range.\u00a0 Turned out he figured it wasn’t an issue since we were shooting a good deal to his left and we would have had to really screw up to shoot him.\u00a0 I agreed, but told him that I’m a bit paranoid about such things.\u00a0 He understood, and actually came up to us as he was packing up and thank us for not jumping all over him.<\/p>\n
Just a reminder that good folks can do stupid stuff.\u00a0 Remember that people tend to be there to enjoy themselves.\u00a0 Safety is important, but so is having a good time.\u00a0 Of course, had he started shooting while I was down range, I may not have been so friendly with him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
