I have Tracers rounds for all my calibers, I was taught this concept in the military and it's a hard habit to break. But, I load and check all my ammo at home, before going to the range. I use Red Tip Tracers, for my weapons. I have fired at BullsEye about 50x, I love the place but follow the rules.
Then they aren't being prosecuted, are they.
Of course the shooter's attorney would show assumption of the risk by the range, engaging in an inherently risky enterprise, last clear chance, failure to have adequate fire protection (extinguishers), negligently maintaining flammable materials in an area with a known fire risk, failure to provide proper supervision (RO), failure to take reasonable precautions against a known hazard and failing to show due regard for one's own safety (require range ammo, or inspect shooter's ammo).
But other than those few niggling matters, it would be as you say, a slam dunk for Bullseye's attorney.
And who provided the flammable environment, and what did they do to keep it from becoming "inflamed"?
Arson requires the intent to start a fire. Several of the major fires out west have been started by shooters target practicing, and they weren't charged with arson.
I think we have the shooter..

Correct, prosecute was incorrect term. Those are nothing but possible defense. We don't know the answers to some of those (extinguishers, RSO). They do require range ammo and tracers are not allowed (just like incendiary rounds) - hence being posted and being written into the waiver and statement of understanding the range rules. Tires are pretty well industry standard as the backdrop for indoor ranges. Hard to show that they are unreasonable hazard in an indoor range when said material is the standard for providing safety and are approved by various regulations. One could also claim absolute liability for the shooter. You own every single round that exits the tube and the consequences as well.
We could go back and forth on this all day. I doubt they go after him as they will likely take the check from the insurance and just move on. But, there are too many damn idiots at these ranges that think rules do not apply to them. This **** needs to stop. Their selfish, carless actions are taking away from countless other people.
Went in today for some small pistol primers. least the inventory is safe.
^^^^^^THIS ALL DAY^^^^^^
What waa it, a 25 yards range? Who feels the need to shoot a rifle at that range anyway. That’s the equivalent of being stuck shooting a pistol at 5 yards. Plus the horrible noise it would make indoors; shake lead styphnate from the rafters.
If I was stuck shooting rifles at 25 yards max, I would stay home and dryfire. Maybe watch some videos on how to not suck at shooting. Maybe look at hawt chicks on the internet. I would rather do just about anything with my limited time on earth than crack off 5.56 in a dingy indoor range.

When I've asked shooters why they are on an indoor range shooting 7mm Rem Mag or 5.56mm I get the usual, "It's the only place I have time to go to shoot."
I say to myself they aren't trying hard enough.
