BTW, I was told today that the fire was started by someone who had just got an AR 10. He had trouble finding 308 rounds but asked at Cheaper than Dirt and they came up with two boxes. They didn't tell him they were tracer rounds and he didn't figure it out until he started shooting.
He fired 20 some odd rounds into the backstop. They contracted with Action targets to build out the actual range. Really nice. I cannot wait to get back up there and shoot on it.
Well, see, he was closing his eyes when that bad boy (the AR-10) went BOOM, so he never noticed the tracer until he was finally getting used to everything! :lol: :reddevil :eek6

Apparently, the person who was firing the tracers fessed up to it to DFD, according to the news report at 5:30 on Ch. 5
. The reporter mentioned the gent "had a clip of them".
