I've seen the same thing only it hit the shooter In the forehead. Raised a nice goose egg!Mark one day me and a friend was shooting. i had a piece of diamond Plate steel about 3x3, it was leaning against a post. i told him shoot it with my 50 flintlock. we were 80yds, the round ball hit dead center and sprang back toward us skipping on the ground like a rocket! it missed us by feet! at least hanging steel is fairly safe as it gives when hit, be carful,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
yep, if that thing that day would have hit one of us that day, we would have been in the hospital or morgue! it was that powerful coming toward us,,,,,,,,,,,,,I've seen the same thing only it hit the shooter In the forehead. Raised a nice goose egg!
Aaaagh, thanks my friend!Mark - I have almost as much fun watching you shoot as you do actually shooting. Almost.
I try to shoot steel targets at an off angle somewhat so the lead won't come back & hit me.Mark one day me and a friend was shooting. i had a piece of diamond Plate steel about 3x3, it was leaning against a post. i told him shoot it with my 50 flintlock. we were 80yds, the round ball hit dead center and sprang back toward us skipping on the ground like a rocket! it missed us by feet! at least hanging steel is fairly safe as it gives when hit, be carful,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Correct...even an ol' blind hog finds an ear of corn occasionally! LOLDont think I have ever seen Mark hit the target that many times
I shoot at hanging AR500 plates and the balls flatten out like a $.50 piece, but I have seen them bounce off the wood backstop more than once.I've seen the same thing only it hit the shooter In the forehead. Raised a nice goose egg!
Wow...that must be a thin piece of steel.I purchased a steel hanging silhouette target that was designed for .22 caliber rifles. Thought it would work for my .32 caliber flintlock. The round balls went right through it at 25 yards. That surprised me.
