He did not ever break the 180. In some places the muzzle might have been at 160 - 170 degrees, but so what?
I didn't, don't think the competitor did anything wrong. I guess technically he did not break the 180 on the stage yes, but the people down range are what 15 - 20 degrees off the line of fire without berm cover. The stage layout is what looks unsafe.
He is being watched by two range officers and every shooter in the squad.
That's why I asked. The 180 rule was a poor choice of description my bad. A better way to put it would be that in Rifle matches there's no human inside 90 degrees of direction of fire.
In pistol matches the 180 degree line is always parallel to the back berm. The 180 arc doesnt move with the muzzle.
Id love to know more about this behavior.
Exhibit No. 1 is that the 308pirate is an unending asshole to everyone on this site to the exclusion of anyone learning anything useful from his apparently vast well of knowledge.
You re all over the place. First, guns pointed away from you scare you.
I've seen dozens of threads like this online over the years. I've seen it with my own videos. The wide angle lens make it look far worse than it really is. Sure there were plenty of times where there was a legitimate "that wasn't great" about it, but it was always the camera making it look worse. GoPro's and the like make mountains out of molehills and make targets look much farther away than they really are.
Yeah I figured it had to be. When I take pics of houses and make the camera wide to get the whole room in the pic gets distorted and it makes the room look absolutely massive sometimes.I've seen dozens of threads like this online over the years.

Ah...I dunno....wide angle lens or not, those people are just to the right of the end of the berm.
It is a normal and accepted part of the sport.
Well, I really shouldn't say anything...in skeet you got lots of people walking around with shotguns, five guys on a squad, people visible on the next field, etc. I actually don't know of a single shooting accident in registered skeet and I've been around it for a good while.
Fair warning; if you mention shotgun sports and safety in the same sentence 2 more times, you summon the real 308pirate…
Yeah, those new cameras have a really wide angle view without giving the old "fisheye" lens effect. Easy to assume it was right in front when way off to the side.
1000%
I missed that before. There were absolutely people inside a 90 degree arc from the muzzle to up range when I'm shooting at the first four targets, especially the two uprange of each pair. You just don't see the people in a cell phone video aimed at me.
