If she's that much of a novice she probably shouldn't be shooting in such a setting. Watch you ass, dragracer.

We had one at a match recently...
Some guy was shooting a run on the steel targets, and put a round from his 1911 2 feet from his big toe in the ground. "Uh.. I forgot there was still a round in the chamber.." |

Watch you ass, dragracer. even the "experts" make mistakes. i wouldn't be so quick to judge her experience. new to trap shooting doesn't mean new to shooting. could have just been a brain fart. heck, someone might have even taught her that way. |

Thats some bad juju Art.
I'm glad you weren't hurt, but you gotta stop it with these close calls. If someone else has another AD near you, were going to make your wife wrap you up in kevlar before you can go trap shooting again. |

TWO ND's inside of a week? My advice - stand BEHIND everybody out there...
Reminds me of teaching 2LT's at Ft. Benning once upon a time... Personally, I have been shooting for the upside of 30 years without an ND. So far, so good... You can spot anyone I train - they will actually jump when they make a mistake. Same way I learned when I was a kid, and I see no reason to change. You should see the way my trainees jump when they step on a rope... FFZ |

Since it appears you two are meeting, be very careful. Someone might attempt to rob Burger King while you are there, or maybe even a drive by shooting. [;)] |

It is not a mystery why there are guns going off around your range. Basic rules of the safe handling of firearms are not being followed. Until there is some form of accountability it will continue.

Quoted: DON'T chamber a round till the guy next to you shoots... DON'T close the action till it's YOUR turn to shoot... DON'T put your finger on the trigger till the clay is in the air... I don't think you are going far enough on this one. [b]The shooter should not even load until he is on the firing line and should unload and leave the action open before exiting the firing line.[/b] This insures that nothing can go wrong. |

Hey Dragracecart, I'd put off your next intended firearms purchase and invest in a Class III bullet-resistant vest and a kevlar helmet.

She need some additional safety instruction, from your post it sounds like she chambered a round before it was her turn to shoot?
Make sure she keep the action on her shotgun OPEN while she is waiting her turn. |

The important things are these: First and foremost no-one was hurt and secondly no-one chewed her out and actually offered some advice. It is very important that we keep as many people in our ranks as possible and I'm sure that a stern yet calm talking to will help insure that she doesn't make this mistake again. Remember, when you point a finger, you have three more pointing back at yourself!

SSHHHEEEEEEEEEESSSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess I better wear my Kevlar at the gunshow, or stand a LONG way from DRA. Seriously, you may need to have safety briefing prior to each event, and it's one mistake, and you go home. BTW, am I in your will? [rolleyes] |

Better you than me![}:D]But seriously, watch your back for a while. AD's can happen anywhere, anytime. It is the the non accidental discharges heading your way that you should worry about.

You did not indicate how she reacted. Did she whiz her drawers, or shrug it off?
If it was the latter, I would be real worried. If she was not scared, somebody should have chewed her out. It only takes one accident for somebody to go home in a box. |
