All I know is that we have what is called Shooter's Holiday and it's a bunch of retired military and their families getting together on my inlaws' land and shooting guns.
They bring in a chuck wagon to feed everyone on top of the hill at the house and shoot down in the valley of the pecan grove. They bring my husband in with one of his work friends so they have two paramedics on hand the whole day and they enforce ear and eye protection at all times. Only one person is allowed to shoot at a time, they must call out, verify everyone is paying attention to who is shooting, and say how many rounds they are doing. They also have what I can only describe as an obstacle course where each shooter has to shoot certain things in a certain order. They keep score and have a winner at the end of the day. They do have a free shooting period but it's all in one line with guns only pointing one direction very similar to a gun range.
That being said we have every type of gun you can think of. I have destroyed 6 cinderblocks with a Beowulf, watched them shoot off a full size cannon, shot a round shot, practiced with my little 38 S&W, used guns from the 1800's and the early 1900's. I've handled an AK47 and I've had a lot of responsible fun with all these guns. Every single person (children & dogs included) held to the rules and behaved and have for the last five years my in laws have set this up. This is why responsible gun owners want the big toys.

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
