Re: shooting steel plates
I've attended my share of steel matches and I have been hit by a fair number of ricocheting "chunks." The worst was a quarter sized disk that came back 15 yards and hit me just below and 2 inches left of the belt centerline. It left a fine bruise through jeans and underwear and made me unhappy. If it had hit me in the throat, I might have been VERY unhappy.
If the steel is cratered, do not shoot it. cratered steel is very dangerous.
