I don’t know if it is real or staged, but it sure looks real.
It looks real enough. You can see the round hitting the dirt in front of the shooter. I have had this happen to me and still have the scar on my belly. “It’s just a flesh wound, Pilgrim.”
D’jue forget to duck?
If it is real, and I am inclined to believe that it is, then I would not be very surprised if that fellow has a fractured skull.
MANY people have been hit by returning lead from metal plates and metal gongs and etc , includeing me , safety glasses are a MUST .
And not running around whineing about being hit when your at a match as a RO , in front of a lot of people !
If your afraid , say that your afraid , and do not get off the porch to run with the big dogs . ha ha ha
I was in the back yard shooting at a steel target at 25 yards with a friends new Beretta 9. I switched back to paper silhouettes. They don’t shoot back.

HAHA Zombie Silloettes - I love it, but dont let your anti-zombie skills just rely on guns only, gotta keep up the hand to hand skills up to date as well, I prefer the cricket bat myself!

The ricochet will win every time. But what are the flowers for Vic. To make nice with the zombies?

My 16 year old granddaughter was here over the 4th. She wanted to learn how to shoot. I started her on the .22 rifle and she got the hang of it pretty quick. Then got out the Ruger Mark I target pistol. I had been on the local guard pistol team and we had a good instructor, guess I learned it well, knocked the can over on the first shot. So I instructed her and it took longer but she was doing real well with it also. Shot through 200 rounds or so. Then we had gun cleaning lessons! She’s a great girl.
Jerry - THAT is exactly the way to do it! Isn’t it one of the most rewarding things you could ever do with a youngster? Now she’ll grow up with a healthy regard for firearms and all that they really stand for - the right to defend yourself and your loved ones against those who would take your liberties away from you.
Get her enrolled in the NRA Young shooter programme as a birthday gift - soon- as she is almost an adult! Even better, get her an early start by joining her as a life member. I joined when I was 21 - a loooooong time ago.

I just read a story from a guy that took his 6 or 7 year old youngster out to the range after explaining how dangerous a gun is and how to respect what it can do.
He setup a gallon jug of water and from 5 yards and with proper ears and eye protection, with a .44 magnum, holding the kid’s hands on the revolver fired one shot at the jug. The kid understood what power it had and what damage it could do. Lessons with a .22 to follow, I hope.
