I do most of my shooting on my private range. I restrict what can be used as targets, no glass, no cans, etc. and I'm solely responsible for keeping my range clean. Problem is I can only get to 400 yards.

I like to shoot farther so I go to an abandoned gravel pit on BLM land about two miles from the house where I can get past 2000 yards.

Other people also use the gravel pit. So when I go I take a plastic bucket and police up broken beer bottles and other trash left by other shooters.

I'm all for shooting on public land, but we need to police ourselves or we'll loose the ability to use this public land, same as camping, hiking, hunting and fishing on public land.

As said, many of use do a police call on a camping spot, picking up not only our trash but trash left by others before we leave. We need to do the same with the places we shoot.

Added to that, during the dry fire season we need to back off on using steel case bullets, they do cause sparks which do cause fires.
