melensdad....very well said.
I have been to 3 shoots and after the July shoot I wasn't sure if I was going to attend again. There were just too many people at the line at one time.
I brought 3 rifles and one pistol that time, I got to shoot 2 of the rifles and just 7 rounds out of the pistol. It's hard to sit at the bench to take a shot when there are people on either side of you shooting and you are getting hit with empties.
That's when revsaxon and myself moved to the 200yd range.
I know people have safety concerns, but I felt safer there with all the eyes watching whats going on than when I go shooting by myself with a stranger on either side of me. I am busy shooting and I have no idea how many times a loaded weapon is pointed my way.
What can or cannot be shot at the 25 yd line seems to be a problem area, It can be suggested that centerfire rifles not be shot there unless you are sighting it in....but then it should be left at that.
