Was it an unavoidable, or "inevitable" error? -No.
Will you be doing it again? -HELL NO !
Did you make sure that those at the range knew that YOU knew that you messed up big time, and you apologized? -Yes.
So please take our advice and return to the range with a freshly bolstered state of safety and situational awareness, with tail tucked firmly between your legs and dining on humble pie as penance until you feel "redeemed".
(I think from your stand up and seriously self-critical behavior after your admittedly negligent blunder, the folks who were there at the range that day would probably feel bad to see you give up shooting over it).
