I have some of these (https://www.crosman.com/crosman-dual-target-pack) to plink with my pellet guns (outdoors), but I also have some lower velocity CO2 BB-only pistols (sub 500fps), and I wondered about plinking swinging steel targets with BB's?
I always wear eye protection and I've already test-tried it from 10yrds and the BB's seem to deflect down onto the hay bales the targets sit on and have not ricochet back at me yet. I figured the fact the targets can move and the BB's not moving too fast would keep it safe enough, but I wanted to know if anyone can tell me if this is in fact safe?
Of course I'd never shoot steel BB's at a fixed hard target. My typical targets are aluminum cans, but the cans don't last long so it would be nice to have the alternative I could shoot maintenance-free
