Sadly, this is likely to happen more, not less as we get more novice shooters who don't think about fire danger when shooting near very dry tinder.
You can clearly see that the "Memaloose" pit that many of us use, and worked together to clean up a few months ago, had nothing to do with this fire. NF-45, the road used to access this pit, drives through the fire location, but the Memaloose pit is several miles beyond where the fire ended.
All this time I've been worried that "our" pit was the nexus. Apparently there is a pit right off the highway called Pit 36. I never knew about that location...
please stop shooting steel core / steel jacket ammo on public land.
copper jacketed lead bullets do not spark. Steel core and steel plate targets will. This is fully stupid to do at night, let alone daytime during high fire season. How dare you state "people who think like you cause these fires" . Re read my post mr. Richard!yes really.
people who think like you cause these fires.
BBs are steel! Not copper jacketed lead.shoot a BB gun at a concrete driveway at night. you'll see sparks.
not at all hard to see how a rifle bullet would spark. especially steel core or steel jacketed.
it's people like sam who make me really angry. it is quite easy for bullets to cause a fire. for him to downplay the risk so easily is completely irresponsible. the estacada shooters probably thought exactly like sam.
we don't need bloomberg when we have irresponsible people like sam encouraging people to ignore the risks, dismissing it as a "1 in one billion chance". target shooters causing wildfires is far more damaging to our cause than any advertising bloomberg could ever do.
