[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1319964, member: 796"] [B]No I don't.[/B] I teach OK hunter safety, and get the hunting accident/incident figures from al the states. I also get the figures from IDPA and USPSA, being a CRO and match director. By far, competitors in sanctioned pistol matches are safer on a per capita/per shot basis than hunters. Shooting incidents in sanctioned matches are so rare that each injury is reported and commented on by NROI in USPSA, for example. Fortunately, both sports have fewer trips to the emergency room than any team "ball" sports, or even ping-pong.
