smartshot Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Shuck, being a tree surgeon I wouldn't have thought you would get a ricochet, obviously on small stuff but a large stump I would think will just absorb it but I may be wrong and would like to hear what others think? We have found rounds inside trees before but they have been back from the war. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'd just not say a tree stump if I were you. As I was saying about rifle range backstops. They're usually made up of about 6-8ft of sand, which will dumped in front of a piece of dug out mud (imagine a wall of a quarry, that kind of dug out) and the land behind it, will usually not have any houses or the like for at least a mile. However this isn't always the case. So compare that to your tree stump! It'll only take a little slip (does happen if you're shooting off the bonnet of a car) to completely miss the stump.

Rob smartshot.... perhaps a good idea to listen to what others are saying here, and perhaps a good idea to not offer to much to the FEO when he comes to visit. From where I stand you do not want any debates with your FEO about the merits or detail of individual safe shots!! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartshot Posted April 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Well that rules tree stumps out lol. Dekers I wasn't disagreeing with anybody, just seeing what peoples thoughts were and trying to get a bit more information. Good idea on not saying a lot though, I'll go for having a sore throat on the day. I'll just hav to see what happens. I'll have to try and find a range and have a chat with some people there. Is there any websites which might show where I can find my nearest range? Cheers rob Edited April 2, 2010 by smartshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
