Most holes I've seen are from poor muzzle discipline ,trigger control,people that don't know how to shoot trying to teach somebody how to shoot by handing them a loaded gun with little or no instruction,People sitting on a bench and firing a handgun or rifle without looking past the target to see where the rounds will end up,if you look from the side you can see the barrel is angled up and will hit the ceiling if they fire.Jumping Frog wrote:Every indoor range I've ever seen has bullet holes in the ceiling.CHLLady wrote:Newbie question:
Why are you not supposed to rapid fire in an indoor range?
Generally, a gun's muzzle rises under rapid fire.
A gun firing upwards like that is typically going to miss the backstop and thus create a safety hazard.
We had 2 kids hit at a school in Hidalgo County about a year ago,the shooter was sighting in a rifle on a makeshift range with no backstop about 1/2 mile from the school,his rounds went over the brush behind the target and struck 2 kids outside at basketball practice.One kid was paralyzed and the shooter is going thru the court system on a variety of charges due to his negligence.
