I have to share this w/ y'all. While at the Range today I was setting up and then waited to go down range, on the other end of the 100yd area was two guys whooping it up while shooting M1A's. I waited. Finally they said to go ahead downrange. While setting targets up suddenly a snap and crackle and 6ft flame appears up on the berm about 15ft up. The other guys were on the way down range and one runs up to the office and lets the owner know and the other checks out the other side of the berm.( nothing but dirt on the other side) Within minutes the whole berm is on fire 1000yds long along back of the range and 100yds along side. The smoke drove out all on the range (appx 10) till it eventually burned out 45 min later. The thing that really p***** me off was these guys were shooting tracers at a target set up half way down range on the 100yd area which was sending the rounds above the steel and sand area of the berm. Pretty ignorant in my mind.I could be wrong. After the fire and setting up again I shoot for a while and decide to go down to these two yahoos and just see what they were all about. I talk about lack of magazine availability ( I own a ar10 and have trouble finding mil spec mags) and their several vintage guns and how fast the fire burned. After some conversation I learn these guys are DEA. After I say why were you guys shooting, basically, incindearies into the dry grass. The resonse was that "well gail didn't say anything about not shooting tracers" Come on.
