hip55 posted the .50 Cal. Riccochet Headshot and it jogged my memory of an experience I had at a local range. So I decided to search "Silver Bullet" and here we are.

I went to the SB range back in March (I think) to shoot a couple pistols. Long story short, I'm reloading one of my magazines and I get wacked right in the chest with a riccochet. It hit me right where that one internal heart organ is located. Scared the crap outta me and stung like a B. So I pack up my stuff, grab the riccochet, and go to the counter. I toss it up on the counter and say "So this thing just wacked me right here." pointing at my chest. The guy replies "Oh yeah that happens a lot. A woman just a little bit ago caught one in the head and was bleeding all over the place." WTF?!? He was very nonchalant about it.

It pissed me off something serious. I won't be going back there.

Now here's my questions. Does this happen a lot at various ranges? Should it have made me angry or after reading this story does it seem silly that it did? Regardless, it left a bad taste.
