Tominator Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Kind of funny, but not really, if you know what I mean. What are the odds of that happening again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah, saw this in the rifle room Steve, the guy was very lucky. Think that could have been much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Everyone should be aware that if you shoot a rifle at a metal object at fairly close range, the bullet can rebound and it can leave some nasty results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I saw that posted in the Rifle Room ,, :eek: I bet he still has a migraine .. :D I still haven't figured out what the heck he shot at ... all I know it made one heck of a thud when it hit that skull of his... He's definately one lucky boy !! He said, "No more iron". So I take it was an iron plate down range. What are the odds! He better go buy a lottery ticket!!! :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I got that in an e-mail a while back too. I'm not saying it didn't happen because without a doubt it could but, if I just got shot in the head I'd be crying like a baby!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palssonater Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I can't believe how lucky that guy is! Not sure what they were shooting at, but you think shooting into a sand pile is pretty safe. Very freaky accident! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks for the flashback:( I had a similar thing happen to me. Shot my garand at a steel target and the copper jacket flew back and stuck in my leg. Took almost six month for it to heal properly. He is lucky to be alive.

IowaDeerHunter Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 They were shooting into iron so I can see where it would fly back. Probably not the smartest thing to shoot at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddpipkin Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 If you look closely, you can see the point of bullet impact, near the bottom of the hill in the background to the right. It looks to be 300-400 yards from shooter to target !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guideman Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 What on earth would posses someone to shoot, that " UBER HUGE " rifle round, at close range, into steel?????? Those bullets carry out to 1 1/2 miles. Sheesh. That boy was lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
