[QUOTE="Dionysusigma, post: 1455946, member: 12686"] Took a couple of friends from work shooting for their first time about a month ago at H&H; one of them, though he's owned a pistol for about five years now, has never shot it. Anyhoo, we get all signed in and set up, and after getting the novice up and running, the one with his own has already started blasting away, commenting how fun it was and why hadn't he done this sooner. :rolleyes2 :D Anyway, about five minutes in, something hit my forehead, which I assumed to be a spent .22 case from the novice. Watching downrange to see how he's doing, I notice a few sparks coming from the lane over from us--where the other guy was shooting. Turns out he'd bought steel-cased Monarch from Academy and didn't know what might happen, and the clerk never checked. About this time another thing hit me in the cheek, and it was a piece of jacket, presumably from the Monarch. I stopped him immediately, and gave him a couple boxes of the Federal ammo I had with me, and the sparks and ricochets stopped. Yeah, it's cheaper to shoot, but unsafe if your backstop isn't a simple dirt berm. [/QUOTE]
