My advice, better make sure of your backstop.

I'm guessing that some of you guys have never seen a plowed field?? !!!

Some of us have seen a plowed field - many times it's full of rocks the size of my fist and big hard lumps of soil. Big and hard enough to deflect a rifle bullet. You don't need it to happen often, you just need it to happen once and get your life ruined...

...Thousands of rounds are sent downrange during hunting seasons...

And I don't think that there is a single year without a hunter being killed or injured by a poorly judged shot, right? Don't get me wrong - I love hunting, but this is a fact.

Farms have equipment, use some of it.
