10 WAYS TO PREVENT WILDFIRES WHILE TARGET SHOOTING THIS SUMMER

Wri$en By: Ac-on Target

If you plan to target shoot on public land this season, make sure you understand the regula-ons and take the necessary precau-ons to prevent the chance of wildres. Here are 10 sugges-ons on how to prevent wildres while shoo-ng.

1. BRING A BUCKET OF WATER

A 5-gallon bucket of water can prevent disaster if a re starts. Place the bucket near the target you plan to shoot, so you won't have to carry the bucket a long distance if a re does start.

2. SHOOT ON QUALITY STEEL

Ac-on Target's steel targets are design to minimize risks to both the shooter and the environment. The predictable spla$er pa$ern reduces the surface area exposed to sparks and hot bullet fragments.

3. PLACE YOUR TARGET ON DIRT OR GRAVEL

Placing a target in tall grass increases the risk of re.

4. Don't shoot trash. 5. Don't shoot with steel core ammo. 6. Bring a shovel and an old blanket. 7. Never shoot exploding targets. 8. Don't use incendiary or tracer ammo. 9. Don't smoke. 10. Park your vehicle away from dry grass.

You may not be able to plan for every possible scenario, but just taking a few extra precau-ons while shoo-ng can greatly reduce the risk of star-ng a re. Just remember that every -me you set foot on public land, you represent the shoo-ng community, and one bad decision could aect everyone.
