    Exactly. If you draw an imaginary line straight through the shooter's ears and extend that line out into the far range, let's call that Line A.

    Line B is the direction his rifle is pointed in (down range on the near range) which also happens to be the same direction his eyes are looking.

    Line B, in accordance with normal human physiology, must be 90 degrees from Line A. No tricky camera angle can change that.

    Which puts all of those people standing at their targets on the far range about halfway between those 2 lines, or a mere 45 degree turn to the left for the shooter.

    No thanks! Seen too many times where somebody put a round into the dirt 10 feet in front of the firing line, or sweep everybody around them, or approach the bench and try to handle their weapon during a cease fire. Saw a guy put a bullet into the range roof because he thought the rifle was empty and had his finger on the trigger. Lucky for everybody he had it pointed upwards instead of down at the concrete, or somewhere else.

    Way too many doofi out there.

      If the Firing line isn't on the same plane for all firearms, I would pass on the opportunity to shoot there.
      Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

      I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

      Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

        After another, more scrutinized look at the photo, I think the only danger is the Wolf ammo he's shooting
        "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......Cicero

          If it was a military range configured that way, it might not be such a big deal, since you guys got your s**t wired tight.

          But civilians? You'd be putting your life in other people's hands every time you switched out a target.
