I had a 44mag hit a tree above my head and land in the back of my shirt. I was shooting at a Keg from about 30 yards. Ihave always been aware since then.

At shorter distances this can/will happen. Check your math...What are you considering shorter distances?

That video has been around for quite a while and it still gives me the "pucker factor" when I see it.
About 5 yrs back I was testing some 45lc loads and had a ricochete hit me in the chest. These were hunting loads and I had moved from my paper to a steel at 40 yds. Scared the crap outta me.

Does anybody have any information or source regarding building safe silhouettes, size, material, thickness, grade, TSPSI, mounting, base, etc? TIA
