[QUOTE="sherrick13, post: 4186505, member: 9406"] I know I make a lot of shooting tongue in cheek threads, but this one is serious as a heart attack. If you put targets on the ground like this... like I found today at the range... [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/1000012849-3067851.jpg[/IMG] make sure they are close enough to a back stop that the ground strikes will strike the berm. Most would be surprised how much of an angle upwards they can get when ricocheting off of the ground. [IMG]https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/29486/1000012844-3067855.jpg[/IMG] I can guarantee some of his projectiles went over that berm. Stray bullets are bad, bad news. They can shut down a range and hurt our gun rights when they cause injury or damage. Put your ground targets close to the berm and even use a side berm if you need to. [/QUOTE]
