    Very interesting. I’d have thought the lack of movement would make it even easier for the soft 22 bullets to fully splatter on the steel targets but I guess not.

    Learn something new every once in a while I guess lol.

    I’ve been hit by a side ricochet when someone dumped a mag through Grumper’s uzi at Hicksville years back. I was down range on the Texas star resetting the target and there was a gap between the tire wall lane divider and berm that the side splattering lead made it through and caught me in the leg.
    Dangit! Glad it didn't catch you in the noggin. Sadly, ricochet's or not, I'm out on this gathering. I hope to meet you folks soon though.

    I should be able to make it. I will be hunting in sutton county for about a week before this and heading back up north around the time this is happening. I should have some backstrap for the grill. Is someone bringing one??

    There’s a grill on-site next to the main building that we can use.

    I remember that. We were shooting your 586 and my 686 if I recall correctly.

    Oh yeah, we were! That was a pre-lock one that you got for a steal, right?

    Definitely. I probably would have been fine but it would have stung like hell and maybe drawn blood lol.

    Yup a no dash. Should have kept it, but was talked out of it awhile back.

    I would love to make it, but I haven’t had a Saturday off in ages! Then again, it is possible that I may have an upset stomach that day that would prevent me from going in! You never can tell!
