[QUOTE="foghorn918, post: 3149965, member: 11059"] According to USPSA rule book for pistol and pistol caliber carbine competitons here's the distance we use: 2.1.3 Minimum Distances – Whenever metal targets or metal hard cover are used in a course of fire, precautions must be taken so that competitors and Match Officials maintain a minimum distance of 23 feet from them while they are being shot. Where possible, this should be done with physical barriers. If Fault Lines are used to limit the approach to metal targets, they must be placed at least 26 feet from the targets so that the competitor may inadvertently fault the line and still be outside the 23 feet minimum distance (see Rule 10.5.17). Care should also be taken in respect of metal props in the line of fire. It's important that the steel is set perpendicular to the shooting position too. You can still get splatter from the bullet fragments so don't forget that eye protection! [/QUOTE]
