Caught a fragment to the left eye. It’s sore and red right now. You can never be too careful.
We were shooting on the back porch today. Busted out the Bug Assalt, took aim, and pop. Salt ricocheted into my eye.
Always wear eye protection kids. Hope to make a full recovery in a few minutes

Thank you for the timely reminder. I will be sure to wear proper PPE Friday when I break out the Bug Assalt and the cooler for the first pool side happy hour of the summer.
Silver spurs and gold tequila
keep me hanging on.
Pretty girls and old cantinas
give me shelter from the storm.

I’ve had that happen a time or two. I quit using normal salt and now use reduced recoil salt.

Try pepper. It's ground finer and won't ricochet. You're welcome.

Did you have your body cam running? I’m sure the FLM (Fly Lives Matter) rep will be requesting the footage under the Freedom of Information Act.
