Each case was close to being seriously worse .. Consider that these are avoidable accidents from SAFE Range shooting areas.

No-one wants to be "the guy who did it" or the one bleeding on a stretcher or gurney - I'm not sure which is worse.

Please do not use pitted steel targets on ranges.

Might Make an 'Art Door Stop' BUT DANGEROUS To Shoot

 at Any Distance - with Any Caliber

I've certainly been hit (on my forehead) with a small lead spall and my previous wee Honda car showed a ricochet skid "ding" on a rear door from the range. - I'd guess that many of us can tell a tale of a near miss .. AND THAT IS BAD.

If you ever see any target pitted like this - PLEASE scrap it immediately,

A 'DEATH WISH' Target.
