Ouch! Metal Target Returns Ricochet Fire


This guy is shooting a .50 cal towards a steel target. He hits it just right and gets hit in the head with the ricochet. Lucky for him it hits the dirt first.

I was thinking of building a "homemade spinning target" like the guys did below, but decided even one of those could could cause ricochet off metal edges and would be too dangerous.


Finally, after further research, bought one of these
Champion DuraSeal Double Spinner Target
Simple, low cost, and safe!

It is constructed of a non-metal, self sealing material that absorbs hundreds of rounds from even the largest caliber rifles and handguns and still keeps its shape. Weighing 80% less than metal targets, these auto-resetting targets let bullets pass through with minimal damage–prolonging the life of the target.
