Re: Always check to see whats behind your target

Back in the day we considered a long enough range for the shotfall to not damage anything or anybody to be an adequate backstop - and there are still a couple of ranges around like that, nothing but woods for several miles beyond the target area, including the Jacob's Plain range where Collin County IDPA shoots.

A long time ago my brother, father, and I were shooting at my gun club when someone came popping out of the woods to the side of the range. The club also had hunting on the property and he had set his son up in a deer stand directly downrange from the target area, never anticipating that anyone would use the range for its intended purpose.
