safe distance from rifle range?

[albravo2]

More detail please.

100 yards along a level plane with no intervening berms or other protection? Of course not.

100 yards away with a big pile of dirt between us? Yes.

Generally speaking, bullets are designed to travel in straight lines until something of substance alters their trajectory. Hellfire missiles, on the other hand...

I have seen some tracers shot out of a 30-06 at 500 yards at 2 inch thick steel targets, in the winter. They fly all over the place. Some went straight up for 500 yards.
No! Behind the firing line is the only safe bet.
I have found pieces of cast lead bullets 50 yards away from the metal target. Probably weighed 80 grains.

Thanks for the feedback not trying to throw anybody under the bus espeacislly volunteers.
I will take my comments to the correct individuals.

I was also insureing they would have the power to shut down conflicting recreational shooters when required.
Cheers.
