[QUOTE="RockHopper, post: 3957352, member: 49099"] I'll have to take some pics when I go back out next week, but ricochets wouldn't be physically possible from the elevation and angle. The pond are surrounded by bluffs that are at least 10' higher than the water. With a long tapered dirt "beach" at one end for entry. I'm sure that's why back when it was a swimming hole, they had the sides lined with truck tires. Somebody at the deep end would have an awfully hard time clawing their way up the bank. As for the cabins, they are all in a grouping in the opposite direction...otherwise I doubt this would already be the "official" property shooting spot. None the less...if there were any question of trouble, there are other options for safely shooting over dry land within 100 yds of my place. Wouldn't be too hard to set up a prefab covered bench rest along another line of sight. There are also quite a few piles of concrete set up around the drain field of the reservoir which feeds the ponds in the rainy season. Many spots available for 50 yard shooting directly into that concrete and still be shooting "away" from the cabins. I'm a little jealous of the largest cabin of the group. There's a dude from OKC who rents it year round as a weekend get away, and from his back deck on top of a hill...he has a clear line of fire across dry land to large berms on the opposite edge of the property. Looks like about 350 yds. At that elevated angle, I bet he could sit out there with a night vision scope, and pop coyotes all night while sipping hot coffee, and shuffling inside to a luxurious bathroom in fuzzy slippers. Or at least...that's what I'd do. Then again, I'm a sucker for fuzzy slippers and nocturnal critter murderin. [/QUOTE]
