Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Photo depicts brass, spent cartridges and other litter at a popular recreational shooting site on the Eldorado National Forest.

•Place your targets on dirt or gravel. •Shoot in areas free of dry vegetation—and avoid shooting on hot windy days. Bullet fragments can be extremely hot and can easily start a fire. •Use safe targets. Shooting at steel targets or rocks may throw sparks into the nearby vegetation. Use paper targets or clay pigeons. •Ammunition type matters. Steel Core and solid copper ammunition have the highest potential to start fires. Lead core bullets are less likely to ignite surrounding vegetation. •Exploding targets can be highly destructive. •Incendiary or tracer ammunition, that “burns” can easily ignite vegetation so should not be used in flammable areas. •Bring a shovel and a fire extinguisher and extra water, in case a fire does start. •Pack it in, Pack it out. Take your trash and debris with you, when you leave the shooting area.
