[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4351361, member: 27098"] Went to H and H this weekend. The lane I had had a thin sliver of lead on the mat. Also on the floor it looked like a round hit it at an angle. I'd be very embarrassed if I had an errant shot hit the floor and ricochet up or downrange. Occasionally one will see bullet holes up high, or marks where one hit the wall, or even holes in the wall around each lane. There are many who don't know what they are doing. I've seen two people who got sliced by holding a semi automatic too high and one woman who shot herself in the arm long ago (it was the mid 90's.) In this age of YouTube and plenty of online resources, it's tough to see stuff like this. Best advice, know someone who is a new shooter, coach them. See someone doing something moronic at the range, talk to them or have a range officer talk to them. This is embarrassing for stuff like this to happen in our "community." [/QUOTE]
