The accidental shooting of two goose shooters by another wildfowler highlights the need for proper safety protocol
A wildfowler has been charged with recklessly discharging a shotgun after he accidentally shot two other shooters in his party on 28 November.
The unnamed men had been shooting geese at Dalreach Farm, Dunning, near Perth, when a shotgun was accidentally discharged. A police spokesman confirmed to Shooting Times that they were unable to disclose how the accident happened: “The men, who were part of an organised group, were injured when another shooter accidentally discharged his shotgun in their direction. Both men sustained leg injuries and were conveyed to Ninewells Hospital, in Dundee, for treatment. Neither sustained life-threatening injuries.”
