Well... I try to go to the range every other week or so and run a couple hundred down range...
Last week... something happened that spooked me... Badly
A women 2 lanes down from me was firing a 357 at a paper target I would guesstimate to be 10 feet in front of her. It was obvious to me that it was her first time there and her man friend was helping her learn... all is fine and well... I get through about 50 rds and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz frap.
Little lady must have hit the lead target holder above her target... her round came back at me, hit me in the chest, ripped my shirt just below my left nipple and cut me.
After that... I couldn't get a clean look down the slide because I was waiting for the next one... double tap ricochet style.
Anyway... I left the shooting area and spoke with the cats that run the range... they were a bit shocked and didn't believe me at first. They then went is to see how close she was to her lead target holder and it all clicked I guess.
Anyway... has anyone else had this experience? I'm a very lucky man... it could have been a hell of a lot worse.
