Pardon the preaching of an old man, but if you shoot steel please wear shooting glasses. Amen.

I buried a piece of lead shrapnel pretty deep in my arm once shooting steel so good advice John.
Some guy did that at the range when I was there. He claims he hit the steel post but I think the wanker shot the steel sky screen. You could hear the stuff hit the cars behind him.
I used to play four wall handball in my youth. It is a game of angles so I am aware of angles while shooting plates but once this fall I shot a plate at close range and got a little piece of shrapnel in my left forearm. Made me think that it might not have been trivial if in my eye. Checked my range box and I already had shooting glasses. I now wear them much more.
Hey Kraig I saw that years ago. Good post, thanks.
