An elevated stand is your best friend. The hIgher the better.
Now, pass through go into the dirt or even hitting a rock takes away from their energy.
Also, no one ever wants to take this to the biggest concern, misses. A mostly spent bullet
is not as bad as a miss. Going into the dirt, or a mostly square hit on a rock kills most of the energy.
Unfortunately, you have no idea where a ricochet is going.
A varmint bullet, hitting a rock, shouldn't go anywhere.
