"I notice that she’s not wearing eye protection. Having had a ricocheting bullet fragment cut my nose right between my eyes, nobody has to convince me of the importance of eye protection." - Hardastarboard

Well, considering what idiotic moves the "range officer" (really, he was a range officer?) let her get away with before he stepped in, she probably said, "...glasses? Oh it's okay - I have in my contacts!" and he just let her slide...

I do feel sorry for the cameraman... Why he stood there and didn't tell her to "STOP POINTING THE F'ING GUN AT ME!!!" can only be explained by his lack of situational awareness and total stupidy...

When you have one idiot on the range by himself, pulling crap like this, I refer to it as a "self correcting error". Sometimes it only takes a minute to correct itself, sometimes it can take years - but sooner or later it WILL correct itself. But in the interim, bystanders become victims if they are not paying attention...

If I was the cameraman, you would have seen a flash of the sky while I tossed the camera and hit the dirt.

Her toe was definitely a target for a moment...
