Congratulations on the reps.
I have no problems with moving people back from the firing line. It was very crowded. As I have said, there is room for improvement, but it wasn't a "train wreck." We are introducing new shooters, we are building community. If anyone thought there were serious issues all around and didn't call a general stop to action to conduct a safety briefing, then I take issue with such negligence. I am open to some level of regulation, but I won't suffer such grandiose criticism of a very positive event.
Posts like this are why it is so hard to attract new shooters and for novices to excel. It is easy to complain after the fact. If a few safety contacts were made at the time, then thank you, but it sounds to me like some sat idly by, uncomfortable with the events as they were unfolding, and are now sounding off when it is too late. Remember, a stitch in time saves nine. I won't pretend that everything was ideal, but if there were serious problems, I find it unnerving that more wasn't done at the time by those who feel that things were so out of hand.
