    Default Responsible range safety

    I had a close call the past weekend on a range in Secunda.
    The first thing that everyone might think....AD..not at all?
    When practicing I woul take my children along with me to the range. My 4 year old son will wear his eye and ear protection, playing in the back of the range with his toys. I will always keep my eye on him because it is only the two of us and therefore I am aware of his actions.
    He surfaced with a 500ml coke bottle with a reddish colour?
    On closer inspection I noticed that it is writen "Roundup" on the side of the bottle...%$#&*@ asking me if it is cooldrink?
    Honestly , clubs and their managment should be aware of risks associated to exposure of members and their families. I raised it with the curator (living on the range) he was stunned and blamed one specific management member. I tried treid phoning the chair person...to no avail. I left a message yet I have not recieved any feedback.
    Everyone please be aware of other risks on ranged... not only shooting safety and personal security.

    You will get no argument from me, Roundup left around anywhere is a massive no, NO !

    I am however curious, if its just you and your 4 year old, how do you manage to focus on your front sight, or scope reticule and still manage to keep a constant eye on your toddler?

    The potential dangers of mixing a toddler and a shooting range makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up
