Andy posted this video on another site. It is well worth watching as a critical safety lesson.
Thanks Andy!!

[hellishhorses]

So who had the right of way?

 

[Bozz10mm]

What hell. I had to watch that twice. The guy just suddenly appears like a ghost.

Who?
The guy wading around back there?
The guy who declared the course ready?
The guy who designed the course?
The guy pulling the trigger?

I'm really having a hard time getting my head around the root cause of this one ...

I was surprised at that too. Didn't hit the deck or yell cease fire!

Looks like to me the guy that comes into camera is dicking around with something in his hand and looking at the ground unless I got that wrong.

 

[oohrah]

Wow. I think the thread title says it all.

A lot of shooters and these shooting events can get dragged out. They were in a hurry and about got someone killed.

I know whenever im taping targets at a competition im always checking to make sure they arent going to start shooting before im back behind the line.

The RO really should walk the stage to make sure it is clear, but they dont. So if you hear that buzzer and you are down range, hit the deck and yell cease fire!

Very good points BC. That could have ended tragically.

That comes real close to the top on the serious f-up list.

Nightmare scenario where just about everything failed. Everyone on a range is responsible for range safety not just the RO.

I wonder if the shooter is going to have a flinch\issues to get over. I would.

Calls to take down the video are sad. It's embarrassing but if we don't admit mistakes when they happen more mistakes will be made.

Sounds like it was the other shooters who called it first.

Considering the number of matches out there im surprised it doesnt happened more due to people trying to speed things up.

 

[BRD@66]

I wonder... after I've watched it 2 more times, I am about ready to call BS.

About as real and stupid as it gets.
