Default RE: Safety first (pics)

So recently I was cleaning out my woods, and headed over to the target area.
At 350 yds, this is the trees behind my target.
Using 180 grain bullets from my .300 Winchester.
Remmember always KNOW what is beyond your target.
BC what am I supposed to think after reading this statement. If you have trees shot up like this 350 yards behind your target area you need to fix your backstop. I think that would be NRA 101 .My buddies and I have a 200 yard range at our deercamp in Alabama..There is no one that lives within at least 1 mile from where the backstop resides. We put up a berm and actually built a welded bullet trap which was put in place. if we had not done we could have killed some innocent racoon , coyote or trespasser with a richochet. You know what would have happened had it been a trespasser . We would have lost everything in a lawsuit.
