Inherently dangerous

[Cody Smith]

1) Some shooters have started experimenting with bullets coated with epoxy or powder instead of traditional lube. Coated bullets ARE NOT allowed at the Quigley. It’s modern technology rather than traditional cast bullet lube.

Another quote from their website. Rather funny they are worried about bullet coatings but not smokeless powder. I would like to go one day just to see it, but it seems rather ridiculous to me to see the pictures of all the folks in period dress, with period rifles and equipment, trying to have a buffalo rifle match and then allowing smokeless powder. Then they have serious and dangerous equipment failures which is directly a result of smokeless powder and then claim shooting is inherently dangerous. Shooting is not inherently dangerous! Statistically it is much safer than most other sports. As a father of three young children and a business owner in which many people depend on me, I truly feel it would be irresponsible to involve myself in something "inherently dangerous." Which is why I quit rodeo, sold my motorcycle, and generally gave up drinking. Shooting is not dangerous, idiots using smokeless powder in guns not designed for them is.

Anyway, I hope everyone has fun at the Q this weekend and nobody gets hurt. I wish I were going.
take care, Cody
