I feel like I should know the answer to this, but I'm really not positive since I'm used to real ranges. My in-laws have enough land to shoot on but there is only one area that I really feel comfortable using as a backstop. Its a hill, but not quite as steep as I'd want so I worry about ricochets going straight and off to the left, because there are houses in both of those directions (not close, and plenty of trees in between, but still). I think its a pretty low chance because of the angle of entry for the rounds, but I'm sure its still possible. To help minimize this, I've been shooting into a think tree, but I've wondered if that actually a good idea considering the amount of rounds I've put into it in just two days. I could post a picture but I don't know if it'll help show the incline angle on the hill. What do you guys think? Tree is the best bet even if new rounds are hitting old rounds lodged into it? Or stay away and just shoot into the hill because shooting a tree is dumb?
