If this has already been posted I apologize but I could not find it. This isn't so much as training and more so what not to train for.

Video depicts a photgraher taking pictures of what appears to be live fire. Photograher is by the targets with shooters shooting towards him. I do not and can not understand on so many levels why this happened. Why the R.O. let this happen! Why any if not all of the shooters did not stop this before it started. It appears (even though I am hoping not) that they were useing live ammo.

I am 100% sure anyone on this site or any other site I am on would not let this happen in there presents but there are those out there that would I guess.

Shake My Head

Some people just can't always play nice in the sandbox and tend to be intolerant. I live under a rock too I guess and had never seen it, talk about EVERYONE that was a part of that being wrong. Wholy hell.

They should have walked away and refused to participate until the unsafe circumstances were resolved.

I bet the guy filming the video did so because of his own disagreement with the situation. That's why his camera was focused on the photographer during firing.

People who don't have the strength of character to stop and say "Hey, this isn't safe, get that guy off the firing line" shouldn't be handling powerful weapons, in my humble opinion. There's lots of ways he could get his photographs without endangering his life. There's absolutely zero excuse.

This has been around awhile. I think that vid is from tactical response. This has been beaten to death online. You can see comments from the photographer

Wow, he's got a lot of cojones and not much brain.

Maybe next he'll put the camera on his head and let one of them shoot it off.

With stuff like this around, it just fuels the anti gun tirade.

It's like the "Watch out for motorcyles" statement when a few idiots, mostly on rice burner crotch rockets, weave in and out of traffic and pass you on the right, sometimes on the shoulder!!

A few idiot appels spoil the whole barrell.

I know that I'm an irregular visitor here but it's the first time that I've seen it. Every individual involved with it should have refused to participate.

I liked XFhummel's song videos until he really started associating with Yeager. I never really like that guy, even before his recent escapades.
Once he (XFhummel) started his videos with Yeager I had to stop watching.

Oh, and his shirtless mirror self portraits... :???:

Same with Corey & Erika when they bring the aforementioned clowns around.
And Erika got knocked up and I lost interest... :D

Ugh upsetting. On the + side, by making dumb decisions like this I am certain he will pay the price soon enough.

I had read about people going downrange while others were shooting. I didn't want to believe it.

Two summers ago, it happened to me, two different times. The second time I left. The other dude might not mind but I will when he starts banging while Im downrange.

Some people just don't know rules or have any common sense.

I agree I don't know all the rules about golf or bowling. I don't do either but if I did, Id find out. Neither are life threatening, on the other hand.

Funny you mention that... I have been playing all of my life. One of the first things I was ever taught is that you don't stand "downrange" of of somebody hitting a golf ball (ie always straight across or behind them) and one time I saw exactly why. I watched a guy that I know to be a good golfer (sub 5 handicap) catch one off the toe of the club and send a ball almost dead sideways... Missed my friend's head by a foot. Point being, accidents happen, even with skilled operators/golfers. So if I won't stand downrange from a golfer, I sure as hell wouldn't do it or have anything to do with it involving guns

I dont see the big deal. Im sure they are excellent shooters, and i'm sure they weren't using deadly HP ammo..

So sad how ignorant, and plain stupid some people are.
