    We were shooting 4 to 1 ball and tracer .30-06 from a Browning MG at West Melton from the 200 yard mound and watched a tracer bullet arc out of the backstop and come back overhead and start a grass fire 50 yards behind us. A flurry of skillfully applied army boots put it out. What disturbed me more than the fire was the bullet coming back over us from a purpose-built backstop. Talk about live fire training!
