We put some tracers through the Garand at about dusk last night. It was spooky to see how they bounce around and go all over the place. It was a good night for it, it rained a bunch that day, everything was very wet.
It was wild to see them at about a 1/2 mile out, they shot flatter than I thought.....
 
We shoot tracer here at my place every now and then. The 30-06 does shoot flater than you would think. I am always in awe at how they ricoche. It is a little scary when you think about all the shooting we do. How many of those bullits are going places we don't think of?

+1 It's a great thing to do at least once so you can get an idea of just how important picking your targets and back drop are. Something like just shooting into a bunch of trees is a no-go in my book.

I guess most people (like me, until I did the same) think they just hit something and fragment or stop.. not always though!
