My friend has a private outdoor range that he lets me use. There are no targets or stands just clay sand back stops on three sides.
I have been using a steel clothing rack that was lying around the house and comes apart into pieces. I cut a side of a cardboard box and attached it to the centre frame with cable ties. On the cardboard box I stick A4 paper targets.
I generally shoot from a distance of between 15 - 30 yards and see no risk of hitting the frame and never have in about 200+ rounds.
Now the question I have is that there's this girl that wants to tag along and may want to take a few shots. Since I just met her and don't want to kill her, that may not bode well for the relationship, what would happen if she hits the steel frame. Would they come back at us, fly off to the side etc?
I included some pictures of the frame with their specs so you guys could tell me what would happen if there is a ricochet. I use FMJ 9mm in my LC9. I'm assuming that it is mild steel.
