Hi,
I'm a fairly new shooter and I've got some questions about shooting steel targets.
Some of the ranges I go to allow shooting steel targets, but I'm somewhat paranoid every time I do it because of some ricochet videos I've seen on the internet.
I took a defensive shotgun course and we shot steel with birdshot as close as 10 yards, and we definitely got peppered when shooting at that distances. We weren't allowed to shoot buckshot or slugs at the steel from any distance.
Is there a chart anywhere that says at what distances it's "safe" to shoot various calibers at steel?
