    My ex dressed up to look cute at the range once. Why? I don't know. Kind of her style i guess. She at least made it look good. Hot case straight down the shirt. Burn and scar to prove it.

    I took my sister to the range. She got the worst new shooter punishment. First shot from a 22 lodged a hot casing between her safety glasses and face. Solid burn there.

    Tonight, took my fiancee to the range. Hot brass down the shirt. Burn and what I'm sure will be a scar to follow. She proceeded to shoot for 45 minutes after.

    All three of them put the gun down safely before tending to their burning skin.

    I was taking Noobs to the range and I was standing behind them to observe and correct any issues , My arms were crosssed over my chest, and I got a hot 5.56 brass right at the crook of my elbow. I was wearing a Tee shirt.

    I’ve never let a piece of hot brass stay on my skin long enough to leave a scar.

    But that’s just me.

    I have a video of me shooting a pistol. The camera man dips the camera down and says OWW! He took a piece of hot brass, to the soft spot on his neck.

    You have your own cameraman for the range?

    Standard Army practice.....On the firing line collars are buttoned closed! Helmet on and since we don't wear helmets as civilians, I suggest a hat with a brim could deflect errant brass.
    It is all part of personal safety. Other options include wear your shirt untucked and be sure to be wearing an undershirt.
