[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3946878, member: 24452"] I bought a big steel gong (18”) at Wannemacher a few years ago, and I have it set up in my pasture at 200 yards. I was checking cows a while back and decided to pop off a few rounds at it with a 1911. I was about 15 yards out, and immediately after the first shot, I got hit in the thigh by a ricochet. Needless to say, I was too close and won’t do that again. I’ve shot it with 22lr, 22mag, and 17hmr with no problem, but I don’t shoot from any closer than 25 yards and always at a slight angle.
