Hello, this is my first post so bear with me.
I want to know if this is a safe place to shoot. I live on 200 acres of land. My shooting backstop would be a giant burn pile. It is about 15-20ft in length 12 ft wide and about 15ft tall. The center of it are huge tree stumps (we're talking 3ft wide stumps). Piled on top of that is about 10 years of brush (tree limbs, branches, wood bulk bins). Behind the pile is 400 yrds of corn field then a road. I am not concerned with a round going through the pile. If you saw how thick it is you would understand. There is a tail end of a neighborhood to the left (about 200yrds away) almost on a 45degree angle from where I would be shooting from. The brush pile is thick enough to where a round going through it is not an issue. My concern is ricochet. Could a round hit the brush and go into the neighborhood left almost behind where I would be shooting from? Sorry if my description didnt give a very good image.Any advice is much appreciated.
I almost forgot I would mainly be shooting 5.56 and 7.76 rounds if that helps.
