So the property down the hill got bought by some folks who happen to like to shoot their pistols on the weekend. Hey, don't we all
![grin :grin:](/f2/epx.png)
Trouble is the corner of my property is more or less down range of their little setup, so I am wondering.....What is the minimum slope needed for an adequate backstop? The soil is typical West Virginia, grassy meadow with clay subsoil. I've seen video of tracers bouncing up and over stuff, and when I go walking with my two year old daughter toward the corner of the property, I can't help but wonder, what if one of those bullets bounces the wrong way at the wrong time??
