LIBBY, MT, 3/01/13: Last week, Chris Siefke and his father, Tim,
pulled up to the range and elected to shoot at the 500-yard target, so
they drove their vehicle down the access road that runs parallel to the
range, pulling in behind the 400-yard berm to set up targets at the
500-yard marker. At 500 yards, the targets they established are nearly
three-fifths of a mile away from the shooting area. While downrange,
another shooter arrives, and not seeing anyone around, he sets up and
begins to fire at the 300-yard targets that are already there. And,
therein lies the concern. “We’re downrange setting up targets to shoot,
and all of a sudden we hear bullets zinging past us,” said Chris Siefke.
