Hi,
Just saw Shooting Gallery TV and it was on "over 50" CAS shooting. They were shooting at steel plates. Question: Don't you have to worry about ricochets?? It seemed that when the balls hit the plate, there was a shower of bits of lead hitting the ground in front of the steel plates.
Wanted to know about this because I wanted to make some steel plates for my own BP pistol range on my place. How thick should the plates be? Any info would be appreciated.
Still haven't fired my new BP pistols. Too dry. I'm sure most of you have heard about the wildfires in the Texas Panhandle. It's so dry around here, just west of Ft Worth, that ranchers are not driving the pastures due to the possibility of fires from their trucks. I'm not even driving my tractor and shredding my fields because the blades might hit a rock and spark a fire. So BP shooting is out of the question until it rains. Will give you range reports on both the 51 Navy and 58 Remi after the next rain. Maybe in a year or two...........................
