This is one of those “new shooter” questions.
When doing target practice or hunting in brushfire prone country, how likely is it that you could start a fire? Our entire place burned a few years ago when a hunter got lost and shot off a flare gun. But, it was a flare gun.
Kind of a silly question but when using a firearm what would actually start a fire? The bullet hitting a rock & causing a spark? Hot ejected shell landing in the brush? Flame from muzzle getting too close to dry leaves?
I’m pretty new a shooting but the likelihood of starting a fire seems kind of remote. Has anyone ever seen it happen?
These days I pretty much take a fire extinguisher everywhere I go.
