[ARCHIVED THREAD] - shot during target practice

Posted: 5/23/2005 12:50:40 PM EDT

Some dude is taking target practice with his buddies. They set up a target hundreds of feet away. On the second shot he hits his target so perfectly that it richochets the bullet right back at them. If you turn up the volume a little you can actually hear the bullet wizz by the camera striking his buddy in the stomach. www.big-boys.com/articles/targetshot.html
Just as a side note. A friend of mine, when he was a kid of around 12 ,was out shooting a .22 rifle with his father and relatives. His father caught a richochet in the neck and bled to death before his eyes.

That's really bizarre, not only the distance from the ricochet but that it came back the same direction! You wouldn't expect a target that far off would present a danger from ricochets!

Why the H*LL were they laughing!

Don't they realize that they could have died if it had bounced back differently?

That would be a little too close for comfort for me
