I love shooting but I will tell you I have seem more than a few unsafe events while shooting at public ranges within the last year . Here are just a few and each of these incidents I talked with the shooter or parents. I think it is every shooter responsibility to tact-fully point out unsafe conditions! We only had one problem where the local LEO came out to the range to resolve the issue ( I go to the range 2 -3 times a month). Most of the time we have a good time and meet new friends!

- Dad and young boy (6-8 yrs old) shooting unsupervised, boy was shooting 22lr rifle from the hip. Multiple shooters on the range where fanned.

- Adult went down range to place target while other where hot on the firing line, his excuse was everyone was on the other side (4 tgts down within the berms) and he was only going to put his target at the 30 yard line on a 100 yard range. This guy did not see what he did wrong even after the range went cold and multiple shooters talked with him.

- This one take the cake (LEO;s were called to the range) On a Saturday when the range is most crowded a man and his wife went down range with a rake and shovel to collect the spent lead in the berm. No one could shoot until the law escorted them off the range.

- With the shortage of Brass I have had many people collecting brass on the firing line while shooting is in progress, weaving in an out of the shooters on the firing line.

Well I just wanted to see what others have encounter at the range.

Note: My kids go the the range with me on a regular basis (11, 15 yrs old) and we have a great time. I Always teach safe weapons handling and safety first. They are both great shots!

Enjoy Your Day on the Firing Line!
