What are Safe Distances? Safe Distances are how far you need to be from another shooter or from explosive targets. Or from explosives in general. Don’t stand so close that you get hit with hot brass from a shooter next to you. Ever see Tannerite Targets explode? Being too close can end up in people getting hurt or killed.
I don’t know if this is real, but I found people saying both these men were seriously hurt.
I’m not sure why you’d ever drop a grenade right next to you, regardless of being in a boat, this is just scary.
Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
This is a clear violation of Rule 1. There is no way letting an explosive loose under your boat is any way safe.
