[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4186624, member: 5412"] I was VP at the Ponca Gun range for thee years and President for 4 more years. I can't tell you how much baffonery goes on at an outdoor range. We try to be the range with as few rules as possible but never on safety. Every bay has a safety board with the requirements to shoot on that bay spelled out with pics even. All targets have to be on the berm between 2-7 feet on a 20' berm. Fortunately, our drop out for the rifle bays is 4 miles, but you never know if a farmer or someone driving down the road is going to take an errant round that left the range. I've been on the pistol bays hearing rifle rounds going over the berm and hauled butt around there to see what was going on. Most of the time it was targets put on the ground that skipped and left the range. Golf balls thrown out on the range to chase around and so on. I've fired enough tracer rounds back in the day to actually witness how many rounds fired on flat ground go at crazy angles. [/QUOTE]
