What does this mean?

If you were getting set up at you local range. Picked out a shooting station then saw the following what would you think? How'd it get there? Dangerous? I dunno....

Jacket got ripped off a bullet after the bullet hit a barrier is my guess. I see similar all over the pistol cells at my club when shooting steel.

Just a little jacket frag. Steel target?

 

[Dougw1515]

Might of hit one of the bullet protectors that cover the clip holding the target. In my case that cover is a piece of 2" angle mounted in vertical 'v' position. Still kinna strange that it would end up at the shooting station. Ceiling is segmented progressive drop to the rear of the range. Backstop is angled. Floors are flat, walls are flat. I was in station #2 adjacent to a wall.

That someone picked up a piece of jacket and set it on the bench. Could have been done by an RSO downrange.

No steel targets allowed that I'm aware of. Indoor range.

Frag goes everywhere. TREYG makes a good point.

Yes they do. Eye protection isn't just to look like an Instagram Operator.

Possible ricochet off the target hangers?

That's why I wear my fingerless gloves... to protect my knuckles from the jacket frag.

Those hangers look like they have been hit one or twice.

Those hangers look like they have been hit one or twice.

That what it looked like to me as well.

Ricochets can do some crazy things.

That's exactly what I was thinking.... Either that or tha' Debil!

There is not an unscathed spot on floor, ceiling, walls down range.

I vote its the latter.

Scary, huh....

 

[Dougw1515]

I can assure you, with out testing, there is lead in the paint!

Probably a frag off the hanger got stuck into the backing for the paper target. When the target was brought back it was removed when the target was replace.



But I'm thinking Aliens now or a curved bullet from Lee Harvey.

Common on most ranges.
