Hot diggity...moving targets.
I was on one range where you fired towards the ocean and with sailboats out there and another that was surrounded by farmland with cows all around ,LOL
People do that for free over I-580 in Oakland.
I’ve had to cease fire for deer on the range before
I was shooting once and some idiot rode over the berm on a mountain bike
They do this on Farish Street in Jackson nightly.
Range is very well baffled. Perfectly safe.
What struck me as interesting is that his rifle has iron sights. No scope. Not easy at that range.
There’s a legend around that some Nazi type asked a Swiss what they would do if Hitler invaded. The Swiss answered “We will all fire our rifles and then go home”. Not to be dissuaded the Nazi said “What if we come with twice as many troops as you have?”. Swiss answer: “Then we will all fire our rifles twice.”
They do that over Chicago expressways all the time.
Gee, and I get worried shooting over trails 500 ft below, from slope to slope, on BLM lands. I think you are not even allowed over a mere creek.

In Switzerland you can go to the “Jungschützen” which is the juniors (15-20y) section of those shooting ranges, for free! Teenagers learn how to shoot with the rifle you shot, stgw 90, over 300m. You also learn the most important thing, gun safety! It’s very ingrained in our society, everyone I know that owns a gun has the necessary training and respect. Back when I was still a member of the shooting range, around 17 years old, I would have my personal assault rifle at home, but we would leave a piece (Verschluss idk the word in english) and the ammunition at the shooting range. I would walk through the main train station and would ride the train with the rifle on my back to go to the shooting range. No one ever bat an eye.
