So, nobody can think of any real reasons not to target shoot at sea?
It seems to me that this would be safer than on land as I can be
certain there is nobody within bullet range whereas on land you never
know if that is true. (OK, perhaps there are Ninja scuba divers out
there).

As long as you've got a clear horizon in all directions I can't see
why not. I think the biggest risk is someone filing a gunfire report
with the gendarmes

I guess the question I have is why you would call France to report a
firearms discharge.

or an accidental discharge in an unfortunate direction.

One of our hay fields is a natural berm at a pretty good angle and we
use that all the time for target practice.

I don't think I've ever seen a ricochet from shooting although it's
possible.
