[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4287580, member: 50626"] Yeah steel can be absolutely dangerous. I have shot steel targets at my place for 5-6 years now with no incidents. But they’re angled down pretty good. I try to stay minimum of 50yds back for rifle and minimum 15yds for handgun. Safety glasses are a must every time no questions asked. Slow moving pistol rounds like 45acp are more prone to throwing fragments back. About 15yesrs ago when I was first getting into shooting steel I witnessed a buddy dang near blow his top lip off and and cut his gums after shooting .556 way to close on a dualing tree (another situation like plate racks, vertical targets with no down downward angle). A piece of copper jacket flew back and got him. You want to sell your plate rack cheap? lol [/QUOTE]
