Took a bullet to the head yesterday..

Uhhhhh

This is a little unsettling for me. So what should I shoot at steel wise? Ive been using 9mm and 22LR at 50+ yards at MCFG targets they have there. I did take a 9mm, .40 and 30-30 to a Ford Rangers flywheel one time at 35-40 yards. Prolly was not the smartest idea I have ever had.

I think i may never shoot at metal again, lol.

Definitely don't shoot at Mettle INGunOwners - View Profile: mettle he will shoot back and likely not mis.

Sounds like it may be about time for another Demo Day?

I will take that into consideration, thanks for the warning.

And what do these Demo Days consist of?

If you can suspend it so the bullet gets directed to the ground, that would probably be best.

This is the most important thing, imo. I also like wood bases, because they soak up the splatter and jacket frags vs sending it back to you.

Im liking the way this looks! I think that would be a wonderful idea

I have have seen the results of a .38 wadcutter bounce back and striking a shooting partner in the center of his chest. I have been hit by small pieces at the range and even a .22 pellet bouncing back from an oak board.
With all the slow-motion photography capabilities out there, this would make one heck of a good subject. Cameras at the target and shooting positions. Wonder if anyone has done it already?

I just need to find a free weekend for us and a location to have. We have done about a half dozen over the last two years.

If anyone is up for hosting such an event, shoot me a PM and we will discuss. typically no more than 20 people show.

Out of curiosity (im a science nerd), what makes your (bobcat) steel different from other steel so that it doesn't cause ricochets? Thanks for any info!

 

[ZbornacSVT]

We provide targets that are made from through hardened steel. AR400 and AR500 to be specific. AR500 is roughly four times harder than mild steel.

 

[kazaam]

Got it, thanks. How does an increase in hardness reduce ricochets? Ah, nevermind, i'll just look it up...being lazy.
