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.

What are your plans to remedy this problem?

RE: Safety first (pics)
 

I would say you need a dirt berm or a convenient hillside behind the targets.

Yep, a solid sand backstop would work. A sand wall, at least a yard wide will stop a riflebullet. Clean, sharp-edge grained sand that is. The kind of sand used in concrete is perfect for the purpose and is easy to come by in the quantities you need for such a project.

I just like to add that this is something to worry about when shooting any gun, even air powered ones. Any projectile can cause damage, even small and slow travelling ones.

Yep...Build a hump behind your target. Immediately!

That could have been a person you never knew was in the same county.

Apparently you did not!

Like the others have said, you need to be shooting into some type of berm....... top soil, sandy loam, clay, sand anyone will do.

Actually I do know what is behind my target, and this tree is less then 10 feet from my targets.
I guess if I ASS-ume (get it) that you guys know my land better then I, you'd know what is behind my targets, as in land, berms and what have you.
But alas as none of you do know what my land looks like and how it is laid out, then you will continue to ASS-ume (get it) various crap you make up in your mind to make it seem like you need a reason to post total bull****.
Anything else...

Just how the hell do you think you know what Im shooting into. Are you just ASS uming I dont?

RE: Safety first (pics)
 

Do you know what is on my land, do you know if I have a "hump" or not? Let me guess, you are ASS uming too.

RE: Safety first (pics)
 

Yes and you being from Finland, you REALLY know what my land is laid out like, I guess you dont ASS ume anything, you already know.
