Pellets ricochet...period.

At our club, the same guy has been hard enough to bleed...twice...while shooting skeet. I've never asked, but that must have been witnessed hundreds of times over the years.

It only gets worse when obstacles are involved.
I've seen a guy catch several dozen pellets rebounding from a tree on a sporting clays course where "nobody" ever attempts the target. A close friend could have died on a course when he caught a pellet in the neck that came BACK and UP from the ground when a squad mate was attempting a rabbit target.

And this past weekend I had to remind a father that his young boys weren't wearing glasses. And then he thought it would be OK if they shared a pair while shooting.
