"What’s the dumbest or most unsafe thing you’ve ever witnessed while out shooting in the desert or at a range / match?"
That would definitely be when a pair of totally movie shooters out at my desert shooting range spot decided to violate Rule 4 (Know your target and what is behind it) and ended up dropping rounds right into the place where my wife and I were shooting.
Second place is a match I attended that was designed as a simultaneous head-to-head competition between two shooters. One particular stage had both competitors advancing down a long bay, but if one was a lot faster than the other, they ended up downrange of the slow shooter, taking fire. Oops!
