RANGE SAFETY ***USE CORRECT AMMO AND TARGETS!!!***

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

I was “shot” in the face at my local indoor range when someone else’s bullet two lanes over hit a rivet on the bullet stop just right and came back. Luckily it hit me in the chin and not the throat. I was bleeding bad. Just a reminder to always wear eye protection. Thanks for the video Mr. Miculek. Stay safe everyone.

[@john-paulsilke893]

Hogh308 yup, I had eye pro destroyed and my face cut up. Without the eye pro It could have been very serious, (very good chance my cuts would have simply been a bit worse but a popped eyeball was a significant chance as well.)

[@1Deejay7]

[@3erwolfpack594]

I no longer shoot at public ranges especially indoor ranges. Saved up and bought land and built my own range. Many shooters at public ranges are untrained and dangerous with their firearms flagging other shooters with their barrels and worse. At least on my own property & range I can control who shoots and I can ensure they are being safe & responsible. When shooting steel targets their is always a risk of ricochets regardless of how careful you are. Building a large rock free berm and using high quality AR500 steel targets helps minimize that risk. Ignorance is the biggest risk to any shooter.

Back in the old days, “trick” shooters would stick two aspirin tablets to a steel background. Then there’d place a knife or ax in front and tell the suckers they could hit the knife blade, splitting the bullet, and shattering both aspirin tablets. All they had to do was hit the steel background anywhere.

Needless to say we never shot bowling balls again. The ball was about 30ft away.

Great presentation, Jerry! Back in the 1980’s when IHMSA was booming, I treated & transported a friend who shot a heavy mild steel silhouette from 30 feet with a .300 Savage. He made it, but we had the ambulance pedal to the metal. Saw a hole the size of a nickel below bottom left rib, and what entered there had enough energy to do a lot of hurt on the inside. This stuff is no joke.

[@jl123ist]

I've had bullets bounce back at both indoor and outdoor ranges. One time I was shooting a moving course with a local gun club at half range distance with a Beretta .40 s&w. The range was indoors and it had the steel bullet traps at the end. The whole 180gr. projectile flattened out to about the size of a nickel came back and hit me in the shoulder. It didn't even break the skin, but it felt like getting hit up close with the hardest shooting paintball gun you can imagine. The second occasion was with a 1911 .45acp at an outdoor range shooting paper targets at 25 yards. I guess there was a big rock in the dirt berm behind the target because the entire flattened quarter sized 230gr. projectile came back and slapped me in the forehead. Again it didn't break the skin, but it felt like getting hit in the forehead with about the strongest paintball gun imaginable it also left a large bump on my head for about 3 days. I've heard the horror stories about people dying from ricochets, and I am blessed to have only gotten bumps and bruises from mine. Sometimes things go wrong, all you can do is try to be as safe as possible.

[@TheMeazy1]

My dad and uncle used to pepper me with birdshot at about 350-400 yards away. It doesn't hurt but it will keep you from looking up. I was shot in the head with a paintball at about 3 yards, hit my head at an angle and just stung for a second. Good thing it didn't hit flat on my forehead.

[@keegans5695]

@@allenpesak6456 it's not frangible, it's actually polycoated instead of using a traditional metal jacket. The hard copper jacket is the part that's generally responsible for splash-back, whereas the lead should simply deform. Frangible rounds are made of soft copper powder because their goal isn't really to avoid splashback but to prevent overpenetrating hard barriers. Being safer at the range is simply a happy side effect, and you don't need to eliminate lead to make a round safer.

But I got it all taken care of. They didn’t use the steel I told them to use, they used a mild steel. Thanks for the video Jerry. Always enjoy them

[@Billman8686]

Not shooting mild steel is something we learned the hard way. Very good information! Also for everyone on a budget paper plates and masking tape work great for close range rifle targets!

[@disgruntledegghead6923]

I always get funny looks when I bring paper plates to the range. People think I'm cheap I guess.

[@williamwilliams7706]

First few hours of shooting on my back yard pistol range the tree leaves in the branches hanging above the plates are pretty much gone. I used to have a 12 inch plate with a bulls eye flapper in the middle and that 90 degree edge would send lead back 15 yards and caused a couple of cuts. Put that plate out at 150 for rifles. Most important advice is always wear some eye ptotection.

[@kirkmooneyham]

Certainly all good, accurate information. I only shoot AR500 targets that can swing back and forth. The swinging motion uses up some of the energy, and the fragments tend to be thrown down and back a bit. I've shot them at 7 yards with 9mm, standing at a slight angle to them, and I have had ONE tiny fragment of jacket come back at me, out of thousands of rounds. The fragment hit my leg just hard enough to know it had hit, zero injury. I always wear glasses and ear-pro, too. Yes, 7 yards is close, and I wouldn't shoot any steel that close if it couldn't swing.

[@Rcasca1]

Thank you Mr. Miculek, Although I did know most of this. I did NOT know or ever consider the 90 degree base. I learned something today & am very applicative for the information.

What a cool guy. Makes a point thoroughly but without condescension. Good advice too, I didn't know about the pock mark thing, never thought about it.

[@brianpartlow5530]

I use paper targets for close range and heavy steel gongs for long range. If your gong is heavy steel and hanging. The movement of the target on impact directs any splash toward the ground.

[@dannpurvis]

I was in the USAMU (United States Army Marksmanship Unit-Service Rifle) for several years. What Jerry is saying is spot on and I learned some new information. Quick story: a couple years before I was assigned to the main team at Fort Benning, Georgia one of our pick up teams I believe in Missouri, if memory serves me correctly, was killed by a ricochet. He was in the pits when a bullet fragment ricocheted off of a nailhead in a target frame and deflected into his chest, piercing his heart. He was standing, perpendicular and within the splash area. I heard of several types of stories concerning range safety disasters during my years at USAMU. Always think safety!

[@cheesegyoza]

Before I became seasoned with firearms my brother and I went shooting and he had a 9mm Baby Eagle and we thought that the bullet would penetrate that the frozen ice from the pond at which we had the high ground and no it did not, it ricocheted back at my brother a very valuable lessoned learned. We are more safety conscience shooters.

[@InXring]

I've seen a lot of reccomendations that steel should be angled "to direct the fragments down." Jerry's cardboard tells me what I always suspected--the bullet fragments spew out in 360 deg pattern. If top of steel plate is angled toward shooter doesn't that mean the fragments that go up are therefore directed more toward shooter--not directly back at site, but at least more in toward shooter than with a vertical plate? Therefore which is truly safer--a vertical plate or one at a 10 to 15 dag angle from vertical?

[@crandall777]

[@zooblestyx]

In the early days of firearms, breastplates proved sort of effective against bullets, but it was soon realized that a "collar" had to be added, in order not to get a gullet full of, in the words of someone we all admire, "360 spread". This video gave a good demonstration of that need, apart from being excellent safety education.

[@KC-bv3iv]

Great explanation of what can happen. Our local range rules actually require all steel to be hung at an angle as well so more of the energy gets deflected down

[@NebukedNezzer]

great advise. I had a soft plastic .22 lr only target. I figured if I shot it with a .177 air rifle pellet that the pellet would bounce. so I shot it at an angle. yup it bounced back and hit my house siding about 10 feet from me. so its no only steel that can be dangerous.

[@gmanky]

Great info to know Mr Miculek. Makes me reconsider some target set ups I've used in the past. But I've got to ask. The shelving behind you, loaded down with God knows what of ammo types. Can you make a video on what's there? I'm sure others are thinking the same thing....

[@nevadadesertrat267]

Hey Jerry out here in Nevada steel core ammo is a big problem. Im sure steel jacket is also. But with all the cheap 223 steel core ammo that has come on the market it causes a lot of fires out west. When it gets warm to hot and low humidity it does not take much to start a fire. Too many people are shooting at paper targets but where the bullet impacts there could be rocks. The steel core hits it and a spark or worse the hot steel core gets into the cheat grass. Also just an observation any steel target I setup less than a 100 yards I always angle it so the top is closer to the shooter than the bottom so the debris mostly gets deflected into the ground. Mike the Desert Rat. For the record you have inspired me I am on my quest for a 1 mile shot freehand with a handgun.
