[QUOTE="Sflutes, post: 1574562, member: 106464"] I think what you may have heard was that there was greater danger for a stray bullet or a ricochet when shooting over water. Lets say you shoot over a 1000 yard patch of sand...your bullet will most likely hit the sand once or twice then tumble to a stop. With the correct conditions a bullet could skip over water like a flat stone and possibly injure someone much farther away than you think. The bullet is not affected by what it is traveling over, the issue is the bullet contacting the water, Hope this helps. Don't ever hesitate to ask any question on this forum. I have lurked here for quite a while and registered to answer your post and the folks seem pretty cool. [/QUOTE]
