Hickock45 blasts away at steel targets relatively close. I wonder what his secret is. :headscratch

Again, good to hear you're fine.
His secret is that he is shooting downhill, so his bullets are striking the steel at a considerable downward angle.......which means that bullet splatter and ricochets are directed directly down into the dirt. And the more distant targets which go up a hill are far enough away that it's a non-issue.

Now I feel silly, didn't think about that at all. That makes absolute sense.
I was thinking about putting together a steel target setup at my place, but I was always little iffy on it. Now I know exactly a place to set it up.

Thanks! :bigear:
