“In the proper setting there is no more danger then shooting at any other target”
In general, firing at a target five feet away, with a backdrop covered in snow (who knows what kind of rocks might be under there), might not be the ‘proper setting’. For some reason it reminds me of the youtube video of a guy getting his leg cut off by an exploding target (in a riding lawn mower).
Exactly right, this is irresponsible. People like this do damage to gun ownership, even more shocking is a gun magazine is touting this as cool.
I own hundreds of acres of land where this kind of thing can and has be done safely.
Just because one can not see them selves doing so or can afford to do so does not mean it can not be done. Safely and not hurt ones ammo supply
