Be careful all

[bnsafe]

I heard a guy was killed by his hunting partner hunting ducks on mo public ground. Swung his barrel right into the guy if what I heard was true. I'm on vaca so can't confirm but regardless.
No judgment or statement needed, But, Remember, it only takes a second to change a lifetime. Think an Be careful out there

Recently happened in west Texas as well. Group was preparing their rifles and had an accidental discharge. A 15 year old child unfortunately lost their life

Those are sad situations...
I wear body armor at the public range.

Decades ago, this happened to an acquaintance of mines cousin.

Two best friends hunting side by side in barrel blinds, one slipped when sitting down and accidentally blew his buddies head off. Ruled accidental but the surviving kid was never the same.

Stopped going to the public range years ago. The public was bad enough, range officers were worse.

These days I burn 4 gallons of gas round trip, to get me to a handful of rock pits with nobody else around

I think my truck burns 4 gallons of gas the second I back out the driveway

Some reports are saying several teenagers were playing a hunting game on Ted Shanks Conservation Area and an 18 year old was accidentally shot and killed.

That's it. Sober lesson for all

There are some places and types of hunting I just won't do, and people I won't hunt with. I shotgun hunted in Iowa one time. Never again. After that, it was all archery (for more than just the safety issue).

How much further is it for you to set up your own range on public land? Public ranges are a literal cesspool in my opinion.

Cannot target shoot on public here.

Little more information for those interested.

Things happen fast, and can't be reversed.

Agree. Last time I was at the public range, somebody was swinging a 12 ga shotgun down the line pointing it at everybody. Range officers were oblivious for a good 2 minutes. I immediately picked up my stuff and left.

Just took my 6 year old son out shooting for his birthday this weekend. Felt safer with the gun in his hands than randos at the public range.
