Hostage targets

entropy said:

I saw a couple M60 teams take out 4 steers at Camp Roberts in '88. They were Cal. NG, we were ARTEP'ing their Bde. , and they set their silhouettes up on the side of a hill, went back 3-400 yards and set up a firing line. By the time they were ready to go, a herd of steers had wandered over the top of the hill and were grazing behind the targets. They didn't notice them and opened up, and 3 of them dropped, (to their knees) the fourth had to be culled. the rancher that was grazing them on post (they paid for the privilege) made out like a bandit. I'll bet the NCOIC got a butt chewing, too. I was about a quarter mile back of them, too far to yell, but I figured if I saw them they certainly should have.
