Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

That's good stuff. I like his videos and I've been wanting to get some steel to shoot but he didn't do much with the guns straight on. That's where the problem comes in.Comment

Remember kids - don't try it at home (range).

There was a Calgunner that posted several months ago about being hit by a ricochet that came off an old bathtub or something. As I remember it was a very serious injury and he was lucky to survive. I'm sure it was a freak incident, but should serve as a reminder that they do happen.Comment

I was hit in the upper lip by something once when shooting some old cinder blocks with my .45 from maybe 10 or 20 yards. I don't know what it was but it didn't hurt or draw blood, just definitely noticeable when it happened.

Boy I remember seeing this and how I always wondered if his earmuffs actually protected him somewhat as they flew off.Originally posted by FjoldNothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.

I got copper frag to the upper lip a few weeks ago at an indoor range. Bled like a pig but no permanant damage. Looked like the guy next to me hit the lane devider and shattered the bullet. Sucks, I was'nt even shooting but observing the wife who was reloading at the time.Comment

Ricochets do happen, but it is an odd occurrence and probably not nearly as lethal as we think.
