Too dry to shoot

[GlockedandLoaded]

so 2 days ago during a 4th of july gathering a family member wants to see my AR.
so i say sure, unload it and hand it to him. he's a former Marine so i know he knows what he's doing. while fiddling with it he tried to turn on the illuminated reticle and in the process turns the dials for left and right, UGH.
so today i sent up a target and start the process of dialing in, again.

well after about 10 to 12 shots a fire starts to break out, and OMG did it fast. i had a sprayer and start to put it out but it was too late, i ran in and called 911 and got to meet the fire dept.

so be carefull guys

I ad to blow something up yesterday. Went to an outdoor range in Duncan, man was that place dried up/out.
There were a couple others there shootin so we talked, and decicded as long as we didnt hit any of the steel poles we would probably be OK,
Good day shootin ...no fires....Be careful out there

I'm guessing. An AR!

actually i was shooting my mini 14, my taurus 856 with the sweet trigger job...and my brand new Rock Island 2011/1911
( no it doesnt have a bayonet on the rail)
The g23 got a workout too

Fire fighters said a spark from a ricochet striking a rock is the cause. It's pretty rocky out here. I was shooting green tip armor pearceing rounds.

I meant bullets/target.

Oh you mean at? That fence post had a board ziptied in which a target is stapled.
