Detaining other shooters at a range after an AD?

[fitz19d]

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...

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 never seen it,

x2. Most I've seen is a spark on a concrete wall, presumably (hopefully) from the farthest stalls to the side.
I have, however, often wondered why the target aren't more beat up. A few places they are, but I've never seen that action live, myself. Granted, I aim for the target and not all the other stuff.


I was at Firing Line one morning probably ~8 years ago and some dude shot off his own thumb. Early morning so nothing much in town was going on and seemed like every cop in Englewood had to come by. I don't know if anyone was "detained" but a buddy and I were stuck up in their retail store for a solid 45 minutes while they sorted it all out.
