Huh.  Still and all, you couldn't pay me to shoot there.

I haven't been, so I'm obliged to check it out, BUT if anyone wants to IM me some nearby (to Castle Rock) NF spots to shoot 22s with my son, I'd be grateful The Land Cruiser can go just about anywhere

So has anyone been out to the old shooting range yet?  Is it being used again?

I was part of the incident that got it closed, I'm not sure I could go back… It sounds silly to say it

Otis was sitting on the left hand side of the "T" shaped bench/table shooting a marlin 60 (iirc). His soon to be BIL was shooting an M&P 9mm at his 10 o'clock. He had a malfunction and was trying to clear t by racking he slide. He walked back around and ended up over Otis' right shoulder at his 4 o'clock still trying to rack the slide.
Otis had his right armpit exposed with his "chicken wing" up.
Bullet went in the right armpit and out the left. Word is that it hit both lungs and the heart.
It took about 40 minutes for deputies to arrive and the news crew beat the flight for life chopper.

I did CPR for almost 40 minutes

The victim, Otis, was 2 weeks away from marrying the shooter's sister. They already had a kid.
ETA: I was 19
If you've ever been up there you're familiar with the switch backs. It was so demoralizing hearing the sirens for so long but they just never seemed to arrive
