The Everyday Sniper Episode 154 NDs, Safety, PRN Video
So a video was posted by Joel of the Precision Rifle Network regarding a situation he filmed at an event this past weekend. The shooter during a string of fire had an ND on the line, hid it, and in fact took an extra point. The video was being used to highlight a trend he has been noticing where safety has been falling by the wayside. He wanted to reverse this trend but instead was himself attacked.
Safety is everyone's responsibility and should be job one at a Match. We are in close proximity to one another with high powered rifles. An accident intentional or otherwise can cause a lot of damage. There have to be rules in place and those rules must be enforced.
I don't do this to point to the series, but rather in defense of Joel's actions as I feel he did the right thing the right way and he was being put on blast because of it.
Safety, the 4 rules alone can be enough if you bother to enforce them.
Thanks for listening and sharing and hope we all do better tomorrow.
Cheers,
