    Back in the old days, “trick” shooters would stick two aspirin tablets to a steel background. Then there’d place a knife or ax in front and tell the suckers they could hit the knife blade, splitting the bullet, and shattering both aspirin tablets. All they had to do was hit the steel background anywhere.

      I no longer shoot at public ranges especially indoor ranges. Saved up and bought land and built my own range. Many shooters at public ranges are untrained and dangerous with their firearms flagging other shooters with their barrels and worse. At least on my own property & range I can control who shoots and I can ensure they are being safe & responsible. When shooting steel targets their is always a risk of ricochets regardless of how careful you are. Building a large rock free berm and using high quality AR500 steel targets helps minimize that risk. Ignorance is the biggest risk to any shooter.

    I've had bullets bounce back at both indoor and outdoor ranges. One time I was shooting a moving course with a local gun club at half range distance with a Beretta .40 s&w. The range was indoors and it had the steel bullet traps at the end. The whole 180gr. projectile flattened out to about the size of a nickel came back and hit me in the shoulder. It didn't even break the skin, but it felt like getting hit up close with the hardest shooting paintball gun you can imagine. The second occasion was with a 1911 .45acp at an outdoor range shooting paper targets at 25 yards. I guess there was a big rock in the dirt berm behind the target because the entire flattened quarter sized 230gr. projectile came back and slapped me in the forehead. Again it didn't break the skin, but it felt like getting hit in the forehead with about the strongest paintball gun imaginable it also left a large bump on my head for about 3 days. I've heard the horror stories about people dying from ricochets, and I am blessed to have only gotten bumps and bruises from mine. Sometimes things go wrong, all you can do is try to be as safe as possible.

      @@allenpesak6456 it's not frangible, it's actually polycoated instead of using a traditional metal jacket. The hard copper jacket is the part that's generally responsible for splash-back, whereas the lead should simply deform. Frangible rounds are made of soft copper powder because their goal isn't really to avoid splashback but to prevent overpenetrating hard barriers. Being safer at the range is simply a happy side effect, and you don't need to eliminate lead to make a round safer.

He made it, but we had the ambulance pedal to the metal. Saw a hole the size of a nickel below bottom left rib, and what entered there had enough energy to do a lot of hurt on the inside.

    That was very educational for me. I recently bought some steel targets and I noticed the spray pattern. I tears up everything around it. Good to know. Thanks Jerry. I like my cardboard targets better anyway.

    Good stuff Jerry, much appreciated. Woke up to this in New Zealand, made my day. I learned not to hang paper targets on wooden fenceposts as a teenager, air rifle pellets come back at you, even the lead ones. Don't need that kind of love 😅 A school mate loaded some 12 gauge rounds with glass marbles for fun, apparently they will come back at you pretty hard, not always in pieces....

    Great video, sir! The use of cardboard during your demo was a brilliant way to create an unforgettable visual representation of how the round disintegrates on steel. Thank you!

    Great info... thanks, Jerry, I always learn something from you. I previously put some small pockmarks in 3/8 ar500 at 90 yards with 5.56x45 (yes, I know it says 100 or more, but "ah, it'll be alright." Now that steel has been relegated to .22LR on the other side only.

    Thanks Jerry for the practical safety experience, never knew that happened with steel targets.
    Have you made a video with best practices for target design types and back stops?

    I know about not shooting pock marked steel but I didn't know about those right-angles causing problems. Thanks for demonstrating the ball ammo versus tangible ammo pattern

    Even when everything is set up right things happen, I was at a range with a slanted steel back stop and found a piece of my 230 grain 45 round next to my foot, took it home and measured it, was still over 150 grains that came back to the 15 yard line

    I never will forget as a youngster I shot a 38 round at the back of a hubcap dead center into a cone shape.
    Zoom right back at me it came.

    Learned about this on my own back when i was a kid. I was shooting just regular air rifle at birch wood target on 10feet away.. you can imagine my shock when the whole projectile bounced back and hit my stomach. Not hard, but i felt it. After that i started to look into ballistics and safety way more.

    I use paper targets for close range and heavy steel gongs for long range. If your gong is heavy steel and hanging. The movement of the target on impact directs any splash toward the ground.

    I bought some steel for long range rifle. Went out to shoot, sent five rounds down range. Then noticed I could see light through the steel, so I drove down and I was shooting through it like butter. But I got it all taken care of. They didn’t use the steel I told them to use, they used a mild steel. Thanks for the video Jerry. Always enjoy them

  • @ericx777
    @ericx777 4 года назад

    EXCELLENT advice Jerry! I will be showing this to any students in the future (as if most of your other vids were not already on the playlist). I do a lot of 'defensive carbine' classes and folks bring their own ammo... a lot of times it's steel cased and steel core (mostly surplus M855/ss109). I always have a fire extinguisher on hand because I have seen a small fire come from steel on steel with the dry leaves in the fall before.
    Once again, SAGE ADVICE HERE!
    I may do a video in the future of "how to accidentally start a range fire" with some API, IT or Lehigh Flash Tip when I get my back unf*ucked and start taking students again.

    I don't understand why people are giving this video over a hundred dislikes. He's got world class experience. His character may not be pleasing to everybody but you guys need to be objective. Listen to the value of what he's trying to say not how you feel. This guy is a living legend not a wanna be guy full of tattoos wearing dark sunglasses in gloomy environment and telling you he's been to Iraq, or whatever and proudly says he can shoot somebody or something accurately with his weapon that happens to be the best of all firearms that ever existed and the caliber he chose is far superior than yours.
