The range was about 30 minutes away. It had rained there, but less than at home. I had one Dragon’s Breath 12-gauge round from a gun show. We meant to shoot it first. I lost it in the range bag. We had brought fire extinguishers from the cars. We shot the rest of the day as usual. When I packed up I found the round. By then the grass had dried. Dead grass in sun holds little water. I had marked the target and intended to hit a cardboard box. I knew the box would burn and brought it in close. I assumed the shell was only magnesium. It also had birdshot. The shot ricocheted off the box and carried burning magnesium onto the berm. We did have extinguishers. Someone had already taken them back to the cars. On camera the ricochet barely looks like a hit. Recoil was almost nothing. I cut the video fast and misspelled words. That is sloppy editing, not ignorance of spelling. A real mistake was not showing the footage of putting the fire out. I used to delete extra clips. After the shot, nothing obvious happened. I turned the camera off. It stayed on the tripod. We watched the field and berm for two or three minutes. Nothing lit, so we packed again. A shooter’s wife then said it looked like a wildfire. Her husband agreed. We had been facing the other way. She pointed. Everyone froze, then ran out to stomp it. A neighbor would not loan targets, so we used our feet. Wind first blew smoke away, then into our faces. I held my breath, lost my balance, and almost fell in. A friend pulled me back and told me to get clear. That is when the camera comes back on. I went out again when the wind shifted. Some viewers called the fire CGI. It was not. I did start it. We called the parks fire department. They said they were coming. We waited on the extinguishers from the cars. I did not also call 911 because parks fire was already notified. I was in shock. I thought I might lose firearms or face a fine or worse. The box finally caught. Someone used an extinguisher on the wrong side relative to the wind and trees. The back of the berm was gravel, so the fire did not carry over the top. That patch burned out. The on-screen warning is there because this was dangerous. I am not a pyrotechnician. I posted it as a caution—and yes, it got views. I am willing to show a serious mistake. After it was out we called back and said they did not need to come. They never arrived. Some people also disliked a comparison to FPS Russia. That is another episode. #DragonsBreath #RangeSafety #12Gauge #RangeDay #GunTube #FireSafety #CautionaryTale #Shotgun Mon, 09 Nov 2026 16:57:36 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://greyhive.com https://greyhive.com/lazy-static/avatars/5746210d-885d-44b2-9be0-92bf1e4d34df.webp https://greyhive.com/videos/watch/643d0c63-cdff-4ffd-8bae-5a77697febc2 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://greyhive.com/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
