The fact is, the kid's parents, knowing the hazards, financed their son's participation in the event, signed the release waivers, transported or arranged his transport, and provided encouragement to continue his participation. As they are charged with ensuring his safety until his 18th birthday, if there is anyone to sue for his injuries, it is them for contributory negligence and child endangerment.
No one's trying to field the clay pigeon while the Remington is being used, either.
