3                    Shooting of aerial targets or shooting targets placed on the ground where bullets may ricochet over the berm is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN.   If you want to shoot cans or the like make sure they are at the base of the berm or on the berm and not out in the middle of a bay where ricochets can occur.   Do not shoot glass of any kind.
