So I’m minding my own business up there teaching my son to shoot and there were several others up there shooting.

The stupidity? The cyclist who comes down the canyon and right through the firing line! He actually rode in front of us!

As Homer would say – DOH!

And you didn't chase him down and give him a target to hold his next time through? [Luck] and [AR15]
There is obviously no minimum intelligence level required to be alive. There's your proof.

I've heard there is a trail back in there that mountain bikers and hikers use.

You'd think they'd hear you shooting and holler to clear the range before they pass but, you know, they're too special to communicate. Probably too busy listening to their Ipod.

They probably thought that people would obey all the no shooting signs. I'd say that every shooter who is shooting across the road/trail are the stupid ones. I've had to drive through that firing line before and thought it was a stupid place to shoot.

No one was shooting across the road or trail? Everyone was in the slot canyon beyond the wire fence in the allowed area.

soon bikers will replace those ducks you used to see and shoot at during carnivals.

"next line, ready, set, GO!!!" "bam bam bam" "dad i got one!!!" "good job son!"

That Law Tigers biker card will have to add gunshot wounds to their list of representation criteria.

I apologize then. If the biker was just riding through the grass, and not down a trail. Last time I went wheeling up in left hand canyon, we had to drive through the firing line and it was scary.

So far I've only seen people shooting in the assigned area and I hope it stays that way since the North Site is a fair drive for me.

As for cyclists that is a whole separate rant! I do lots of trail walking and I'm sorry to say that they seem to be the rudest people around and incapable of either reading or obeying the trail rules. As for on the road.......

I thought that the Left hand canyon was shut down for shooting?

There's a post elsewhere that part of it is open. If not there's still a whole load of people shooting up there! Me included.
