I've told this before, but it's worth repeating.
The first stage of a USPSA match, with lots of folks waiting their turn.
The R.O. instructs the guy in the box to load and make ready.
He does and reholsters.
Just as the R.O. raises the timer to begin, I notice an unnatural movement of a small bush on the backstop, nearly in line with the first target array.
I shout stop, and to the R.O.'s credit, he does just that.
I hurriedly run down to the bush on the backstop and there's a four year old girl playing behind it.
After everyone recovers from near heart attacks, we find the parents and give them plenty of hell.
The moral to this story is don't bring pets and small children to shooting matches, unless they are on firmly held leashes.
