Who needs a spotting scope when you have a good friend?

This was at Crosley Fish & Wildlife prior to having full time Range Officers. I had walked around the corner from the left & was simply, in disbelief. After trying to convince him this was a bad idea, I snapped this picture as I was leaving. As I walked away, the old Ruger Deerfield Carbine barked away!

Ignoring range safety for no reason.

Awww, let ‘em have their fun! The “plague” we just had didn’t wipe enough of ‘em out anyway, so let them do it themselves.

I still say there're far too many warning labels out there. Heck, I can't remember the last time I heard of a wood chipper-bucket truck funeral...

#1. I hate gun laws
#2. If this was/is a citation type of offense I couldn’t get the ticket book out fast enough.

I have never suffered fools with guns, I called dispatch. They are doing what? Was the reply. I passed the deputy on the way out.

Geez, some people just like to complain. "Save me Nanny State, save me!" If that guy's in your danger zone, you need to practice more or get a different hobby. Homeboy is like 300 MOA to the left of the target!

Eh. Shooting off a bench down a tight lane, it's not that dangerous. I've never shot walls or ceiling seated at a bench, dunno about you guys.

The compelling question is "why, though?".

It's called lazy and stupid.
If you listen to Ron White, at least half of that equation is unsolvable.

Don’t get me wrong, I cringe at this and would never do it, even if behind a mini berm. I spot from the firing line only, period. But a lot of guys here have been to high level training doing live fire move moving drills. Of course the width spread is much safer, but it is not comfortable for sure!

Exactly! Even some of the cheapest 3x9's of my youth could see 44 mag holes in paper at 50 yards.

It doesn't bother me.

If you have the whole bay to yourself, just walk down and look...

I need to invest in a spotting scope. Right now its just a Remington 700 with a 5-25x scope on the bolt open on the right side of the bench, and whatever rifle I'm sighting on the left side.

Who's doing that besides Army's Delta boys and seal team 6 boys?

 

[bgcatty]

You simply cannot cure stupid! Period! Dot. Exclamation point!!!

Not sure who all, but the last course I took that did was with Costa.

Interesting, my sons that are both tier 2 in the real world, and neither one has ever fired in a training class with men downrange.
Not sure I would want to go to a class at home where that was being done.
