Was out at my favorite gravel pit doing some shooting yesterday and noticed the rocky hillside that was the backstop had quite a bit of dried vegetation.
We are in an extreme fire danger warning out here with hundreds of forest fires raging.
I don't think I've ever seen a spark while shooting, but I seem to recall there have been some fires started by shooting.
All the bullets I was using were copper-jacketed lead. I don't think they would spark, but I did make sure I had some water handy and closely inspected the backstop after done shooting to make sure there was no smoke.
Curious as to anyone knows if there has been a fire started by shooting "normal" bullets and not tracers or steel-cored stuff.
