At the 0:36 mark, anticipating recoil...^^^Saw that classic coming. Here is another one...
I was shooting at the public range in Hawaii. Dude comes over and asks us to move further away from him with our steel. Ok, whatever, we'll scoot down.If you slow it down, you can see the impact of the bullet on the ground in front of him before it bounces up to say hi.
I found my ricochet the other day - shot up about 10 feet before coming back down.

Doesn't seem like the guy knew how to set up/shoot steel. He got lucky.
I like the insertion of irony via the safety vest.Heretic probably meant something along these lines...

Sounds like he did you a favor having you move further away. Only thing missing was his sign...I was shooting at the public range in Hawaii. Dude comes over and asks us to move further away from him with our steel. Ok, whatever, we'll scoot down.
Later, he pulls out steel, and has the target angled backwards, so his ricochets are up going up and back. I told him his shots will go up and back. Dude had the balls to ask my credentials. I laughed and told him "physics, but whatever, you do you".
Dude was a creeper. After I walked off, whenever he wasn't shooting, he was staring us down.Sounds like he did you a favor having you move further away. Only thing missing was his sign...
I love the line "we're not doing that anymore". Really? Why not? Sure looked like fun
When a ricochet comes your way then you're obviously shooting in the wrong spot. Like rock quaries. I drove by a bunch of yahoos pounding away with their AKs in a rock quarry in northern Clark County couple years ago. Ding dongs.
The vest worked, he didn't kill himself!I like the insertion of irony via the safety vest.

There is a neighbor on our street who would probably give this moron a run for his money.Wow - what an idiot!
Moreso than the guy shooting the fish
The biggest part of this incident is training with equipment that has different controls in the same places. This is exactly why all of my pistols and holsters have the same controls in the same places operating exactly the same way. When an action becomes muscle memory and you are no longer thinking about each small action having inconsistent controls is a real hazard. In this case he trained to release his pistol from the holster with his thumb. He got so good at it that he no longer had to think about each individual move involved in drawing his pistol. Then he switched equipment, such that the same movements now did NOT release the pistol from the holster, but did turn off the safety. Now, safety off, he thinks the pistol is released and yanks on it. It doesn't release, but his finger does hit the trigger...ND.
