Very inconsiderate hunters.
A .308 on flat land? Not a good idea.
There is a reason why the DEC doesn’t allow hunting with rifles in eh “Southern Zone”. Only shotguns with slugs....this is why.
In PA, we were always weary of NY city hunters doing sound shooting; hear a sound and shoot at it.
These idiots give hunters a bad name. Throw the book at ‘em.
NRA rules. Know what your target is, what is between you and your target, what is beyond the target out to the range of your load. At deer camp a few years ago I was bow hunting and discovered the ‘hidden’ stands of a husband and wife team were only 150 yes apart and their shooting lanes were pointed at each other.
They used different trails to get to their secret stands and in the early gun season they could not see each other. I took them pictures with the foliage gone and needless to say it was eye opening.
Enjoy our gun freedoms safely, always.
Firing a gun is just like tweeting. Once you mash the button, the projectile ain’t coming back.
First rule of shooting at targets - ensure that there is a solid, 100 percent reliable backstop. Like a hillside, dirt pile, concrete wall, etc.
There are morons shooting sniper rifles in the game area near us. Land is mostly flat, few rises here and there. Wonder how far those bullets go...
As I type this my New Jersey transplant neighbors are shooting on their property.
They have a nice home range that has a natural hill and on that they added an earthen backstop. Very safe, you have to be trying hard to get a round to go past the range.
Sounds like a lively skirmish going on.
Some of my dope, probably dope head, neighbors got new AR-15s or something like that for Christmas. It has been too cold for the takers around here to get out much until this last week.
I heard one blazing away at about 0700 and another after school. I doubt any of them have a backstop.
Idiots with guns give all of us a hard time.
Being shot or a viral infection are the two best ways to lose weight. /s
Every bullet you fire has a lawyer hooked to it. No backstop is just asking for the lawyer to be used.
I target shoot at my local sportsman’s club.
He ought to sue them for everything they have and they should never be allowed to touch a firearm again.
Because some folks are just too stupid to shoot.
Stupid people. Should be charged with negligent manslaughter. Or more. This wouldn’t happen if we had mandatory rifle training in schools.
Dayum, I would have hit the deck as you don't know if those dips would have gotten pist off at being yelled at and tried to take those guys out.
The shooters were incredibly stupid and negligent. I wonder why the victim didn’t have a clue - you can tell when something like a .308 is shooting your way and it should cause enough concern to make one want to clear the way - had to tell some neighbors to stop shooting a few years back because part of my property was in their line and I was out tending to it...they were firing .22s but at 200 yards 9with brush in between) I could tell they were firing in the general direction.
