Where's the beef?

We learned years ago when shooting on the outskirts of Piccatiny Arsenal in New Jersey to ALWAYS leave an armed buddy behind on the line while out setting up targets.

I got tired of watching groups of "undesirables" show up there with ONE Mini 14 they all chipped in for at Sears, or Walmart, or K Mart, (yes, it was that long ago). These duffuses ended up shooting at the insulators on the high power lines over time, (Our "shooting pit" was along a high power line trail up the mountain behind Piccatiny Arsenal) that it was eventually closed to everybody.

Unless I am absolutely confident of where I am, (and I shoot very expensive Title 2 Firearms), we always leave a "minder" back at the firing line.
