Yeah it's a repost. Moral of the story: always be aware of your backstop!

no problem on the repost, it's worth seeing again to know how important it is to know what you're shooting at.

Ditto. But doesn't it look like they have a 'safe' backstop? Looking at the terrain there, I would have thought so. What a freak incident. The guy is lucky he's alive.



On a side note, I think I'm going to start wearing one-piece jumpsuits.
