You got lucky

...or unlucky; I can't tell any more.

Wow! Glad you are OK. Let's see some pics of the bullet...

Wow...interesting. Don't tell the libs, they'll require vests or push for more bans of wood pallets at ranges.

That's Crazy! Glad to hear you're o.k

Remind me not to buy whatever rounds they were using

**TacoMalo** · 02-01-2008, 03:14 PM

Extremely lucky, no video or pics tho? If you had taken a video it would have been right up there with the guy shooting steel targets with a .50 bmg and one came back and split his head gear into two pieces.

Glad it wasn't any worse than a bruise.

Another request for pics of the bullet, and your bruise.

BTW; What range were you at in Colorado Springs?
