One of our members, shooting at a remote private location, catches a ricochet in the foot. He’s fine, he got some lead and copper in the ankle and it cut some tendons but it looks like he will make a complete recovery with no lasting ill effects.

But.

he’s wounded. Bleeding, Left ankle in some not inconsiderable pain. In a car with a stick. IN a remote location, without a cellphone.

Don’t shoot alone if you can help it. folks. We will probably make this a suggestion at our range, becoming a mandatory “buddy system” eventually.

At my local range. Last night’s meeting was a doozy.

See the club has grown from a hundred and change to several hundred members, and keeping up has become more difficult. Used to be it was just a place for a few guys to come and shoot, and now it’s become ungainly and more management is needed. The last five executive board elections consisted of ‘Show of hands. Retain these guys?”

Now since more work needs to be done more involvement is required, and that needs to change.

The debate was- to say the least- very, very heated. Pounding of fists. yelling. Some screaming even (OK, that might have just been because I took my shirt off)A lot of flaring tempers, and a lot of hot heads.

And every single member was armed, some very heavily armed.

Oddly enough, nobody got shot. Imagine!
