Manager of FPS Russia Found Murdered

[Vic_Mackey]

I've never had a ricochet... ever... I know whats behind my targets... and so should EVERY person that fires a gun... anything less is just unsafe practice...

Riiiight. Go shoot some tracers at your shooting place and tell me they don't ricochet.

Yeah, I call BS on this one too. A bullet can ricochet off of any surface. dirt, wood, steele, plants.....Paper.......Air. I have witnessed .45 gr. accelerator rounds from a .308 shrapnel in mid air.

this is rich.. i'm getting flamed for following basic gun safety rules.. on a gun owners site... and you wonder why Indiana won't allow REAL long guns to be used for deer hunting.

and back to the topic at hand, it's messed up that this guy was murdered... I hope they catch the cowards that did it...

1. His gun handling.

2. His lack of eye protection.

3. His lack of ear protection, although sometimes he only wears plugs.

4. His complete disregard of Rule #4.

His videos were less than helpful to the gun culture.

The interesting thing is ... I can sit on my dad's back 40 all day long and pop off rounds with an M1A. All day long, every day, and twice on Sunday if I want.

But somehow, the moment a deer happens to wander in front of the backstop, it becomes unsafe?

Working the target butts in boot camp, during the day, we could hear ricochets out of the backstops, occasionally seeing puffs of dust on the dirt floor. I wondered why we were wearing helmets and flak jackets down there...THEN came night fire!
WHOA!!! I couldn't believe all the ricochets, and ALL THE CLOSE CALLS!

We've all had ricochets...they're just hard to see in the daylight.

I just jumped onto the last page so I didn't see what you think is flaming, but as far as ricochets are concerned, you've had them, you just didn't see them. I've fired way to many rounds to know this is just something that happens. Like someone else mentioned, go fire a mag of tracers into any backstop/surface you want, you'll see ricochets!

^^unless you just meant a ricochet that hit anything. In that case I believe you.

God rest his sole. I dont think think this thread was started to debate videos. But haters are going to hate.

 

[ThoughtPolice]

I'll pray for his family in their time of need.

Did he lose his foot? You mean "soul?"

 

[Punkinhead]

Sad. If only he'd have owned a device to protect himself with.

 

[Shadow8088]

you can't really defend yourself from a bullet to the back of the head.

I normally don't believe this stuff but there are some disturbing thoughts here

Prominent rifle manufacturer killed in mysterious car crash days after posting psych drug link to school shooters

It's sad whenever this happens, but makes you wonder if they were targeted in some way do to current climate in the US. Condolences to the family
