It is the range's fault ... when i said something about getting hit in the cheek by a piece of jacket they acted like it was common ... it had happened to me there before but it never drew blood like it did last time. I have never had this happen at any other range. only at the shooting gallery. if you look at other threads about the range you will see other people talking about the backstop kicking back bits of bullets.

When I fired, I saw it fly to the right, bounce off the separator and hit me in the right forearm... and it was hot. Another reason I knew it didn't bounce back off the backstop is the way I was shooting, it just couldn't have come from that way. I guess that's what happens when you use cheap Winchester Value pack ammo from Wally World.

what i got hit by was the jacket of my own round .... quality of the ammo dosent matter i dont think .... I was shooting corbon powerball ... thats not cheap stuff

This is a range that i will not go back to ever again !!!!!!

Staff arent incredibly knowledgeable, but there "range" takes the cake

I went in there about a month and a half ago to have a goodbye shoot with my kimber pro carry pre series II .... got through 200 rounds and had a few bits of shrapnel come back and hit me ... no blood so no biggie right?


I switch from 230 grain FMJ to 165 grain corbon powerball and go through a mag ... next mag halfway through I get this piece of shrapnel flying back at me the size of my pinkie nail. It embeds its self into my face, not only was it hot but it stuck into my cheek .... I had to pull it out, finnish my mag and leave. I said something to a guy at the counter and they didnt seem to care in the slightest bit. I now have a scar on my cheek from being "shot" .... Ill go to winchester gallery from now on thanks.
