Hit with ricochet today at the firing range

[SharpsDressedMan]

I have shot steel targets in the backyard, bowling pins in and outside, and occasionally plinked on an indoor range. I have been struck more times shooting pins & steel than on the occasions I shot on an indoor range. I think shooting on MOST indoor ranges is safer than shooting competitively on bowling pins and steel targets, yet people do these events all the time. Shooting is inherently dangerous, but serious wounds or injury, on a whole, are not that frequent. I'll bet more people shoot than ski, but less people are hurt shooting than skiing.
