Default Re: bullet ricochet inside indoor range

My friends call me a bullet magnet. Over the course of years I have been hit probably two dozens times. We shoot steel plates/poppers at my place and I often get thumped.

A friend of mine (a Police Officer) was training at SCI Rockview and caught the ricochet of a steel jacket from a .45 ACP round. It impacted just below his chin bone and imbedded itself about 1 1/2 inches in his neck. That took a visit to the ER. He wanted to pull it out but the instructor insisted on the trip to the Hospital. Instruction Cadre, they are so picky (sorry Steve ).

Be safe (and protect your balls, eyes and otherwise).
