    I wouldn't flinch at taking some shrapnel, but I could see a brand new shooter freaking the F out about it. It's unfortunate that you had to deal with all that stuff. Glad everyone was ultimately okay.

    I always look and assess every individual in every lane before I step into mine. I'm checking for basic safe gun handling and body language while on the line. I'm responsible for my own safety and I take it seriously. I hope she's ok which it sounds like.

    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Legit question Asmo- what would the basis of filing be?

    Rumor has it...


    .45 ACP has "Stopping Power" that's what matters to me!!!!
    9mm will go through the intruder and though my walls and strike a bystander in their home or driving by in a car!
    And that's the fact Jack......

    I don't shoot indoors often at all. Are ricochets and shrapnel problems common? A couple comments in the thread sound like it happens more than rarely...

    That is because you are a subject at the behest of the whims of the state.

    I've never seen it, but if you look at the target carriers and even the ceiling almost straight up at most places its scary.

    Try looking at the ceiling right above your stall. You may/may not be surprised....

    I've taken a full round to the shin at an indoor range, as well as a bit of shrapnel. At an outdoor range part of a hollow point got me right in the neck at just the right angle and velocity to make me bleed a little bit.
