Shooting a Steel Plate

Hi M2,
Interesting photo, have you considered instead of mounting with chain or clevis bolting the chain to the backside of the plate putting the plate at a more bullet deflecting angle?
Good idea.
I haven't had any problem with the targets hanging straight but having them hanging at an angle is a better idea.

This is a quick easy way to hang steel plate. This was a temporary set up that's been there 15+ years.:) Steelbulletstop2.gif
 
Lots of steel shooting at USPSA matches. Minmimum safe distance for engaging steel targets is 23 feet for handguns per USPSA rule 10.5.17.

I've had bullet fragments fly over the berm and hit me from adjacent shooting bays on more than one occasion. Though, they usually have very little energy, they're a distraction, and could potentially cause an eye inury.

One RO told me that he will not go to a pistol range without a good hat with a brim and shooting glasses.
