If I read the posts on AR correctly the gentleman who was shot is expected to make a full recovery. The most significant threat to his life was fromn blood loss, not structural damage.
Let us not overdramatise this.
This accident gets our attention because it involves a sport, and sporting equipment, that are extremely important to us. Not because the injury is spectacularly great.
Besides which.....
If "Dangerous Game Hunting" wasn't dangerous, would it be as attractive as it is?
Cooch - I agree, we shouldn't over dramatise this, but we shouldn't dismiss it either. After all, I imagine Punki fully subscribes to dangerous game hunting, not hunting with dangerous clients...
I'm not saying BB is a dangerous client. I don't know her, haven't hunted with her and will accept the view of other experienced hunters who have. From the posts above, it appears to have been a tragic accident, but one with lessons to be learned for all. Part of the learning process is discussing hypotheticals too...
