The match director and Forsyth R&P club kept everybody informed about what happened and how the lady was doing. Only person who needed to explain anything was her husband and why he was overloading an antique rifle with smokeless powder. Whether anyone thinks so or not that was a common sense safety violation and if I was on that line he still best look after his hide for that lack of safety. Good thing that Doc Lay and that other doc were johnny on the spot for her too as well as the Rosebud EMT ambulance crew. This safety violation could have been avoided by an RSO on the line with every group, no excuse for that. bobw
