Damn, Mike!

Maybe order some frangible bullets in the future?

BTW, hats off for sharing the story. It takes nuts to admit you farked up on a public forum like this.

Mike, I'm pretty sure I've told you before...

You're gonna shoot your eye out with that thing.

Sounds like the beginning of a lot of bad stories.

Just what I was thinking.

Man I am so glad you are OK with a cool scar to show for it.

I have been thinking of making some steel targets for some 9mm shooting. You may have talked me right out of it.

I'm going to modify mine to where they won't swing out. I've got to design a limiter to keep them swing ing back but never out.

Honestly they work great, and deflect the rounds into the ground. I just have revise my design to keep this from happenning again.

Chicks won't be impressed with the real reason.

Glad you're ok. Now you can brag to the girls about your bullet wound.

**Bubba0031** · 11-03-2009, 11:21 AM

There is a video on U-Tube that shows a guy shooting a target that is attached to a steel sign post pole. The guy fires and instantly his hat flies off of his head backward. The ricochet came straight back and grazed the top of his head. An inch lower and it would have been one shot one kill, right between the eyes.
