Today one of my sons came home from a buddy's house and reported they'd been firing .22 caliber rifles at debris floating on the surface of a private pond.
I was always taught not to ever fire at water, for fear of ricochets. When I said as much to my son (he's sitting here watching me type), he wanted to know if this was REALLY true.
So, fellas, how 'bout it? Anyone got some facts and source material that even a teenager will accept?
Or am I all wet?
Edited to add: my son was acting under the direction of a trusted adult who assured him it was safe -- and there was a backstop -- and there are no solid objects in the home-built pond.
