[QUOTE="41magnut, post: 2796040, member: 94730"] Gentlemen, I don't want to spoil the fun of speculation, and so on, but I'm going to anyway. I understand the excitement to see a tracer round showing the travel etc, the risk of starting a fire isn't worth the momentary thrill. While I worked at two public ranges, other than pointing a weapon at someone firing off a tracer round was a quick way to be escorted off the property. Multiple offences lead to being banned from the range. Yep, we did have a couple of serial offenders No manner of rules, signs, verbal admonishments - especially during drought conditions, there was always someone who thought they knew better & fired off as many as they felt they could get away with. We (range employees) had to put out several grass fires with one that we couldn't contain requiring a call to the VFD. Bottom line, be very careful, and mindful of fire risk with tracer rounds. I would hate to hear of a range being shut down, or worse someone hurt from the fire started from a tracer that got out of control. [/QUOTE]
