Don't wear hoodies when shooting. might as well as shove a funnel into the back of your shirt.

That's something you usually only learn once, then start wearing a hat to the range.
I haven't learned that lesson yet.

That happened to my wife the second time I took her shooting... except she had retained enough of my 'safety talk' to take her finger off the trigger and keep the gun pointed down range while she danced around.

actually a few months back i caught a 45 brass behind my safety glasses. it just cleared the frame and sat in the corner of my eye and sizzled. I just took the burn cus I was shooting (M&P9c, my friend next to me was shooting a 1911) and didn't want to swing a firearm at the range in panic. left a nice lil scar.

You were out in front of the line while he was shooting???You're either braver or crazier than I am. Maybe both.
After watching the vid, it appears that he was in the safest place possible.

Makes me wonder what i look like, my buddy/instructor always kept me firing until all mags were depleted, even after having a .45 come back at me and bruise a rib in the pits at pelham. I kept it as a souvenir LOL

It's funny but can be pretty scary too.
I took a new shooter to the range. He was shooting my Kimber 45 ACP and a hot case landed in his shirt. He started hopping up and down and he turned to me and all his friends while laughing and screaming. Unfortunately he turned with the gun as well has his finger on the trigger. I still remember that uncomfortable moment when the business end of my 1911 was pointed right at my abdomen. At that moment I decided NOT to go for the gun as I thought there was more of a chance of me disturbing his finger and yanking the trigger than there was of him hopefully remaining somewhat safe on it.
Now all my new shooters get a lecture on exactly that scenario and are told "It may be hot but it will not scar. Do not freak out and keep the gun pointed down range".
By the way your friend screams like a teenage girl.

Had that one happen to me on one of my first shoots. The casing climbed the divider on the indoor range, then dropped neatly behind my glasses, burning a nice hole in my cheek.what are the odds?
Got it again last weekend, standing behind my son. Off the divider, straight down my shirt. Feck, it cooked my belly button. And yes, I danced like a pansy trying to get it out.

Oh yes, it can definitely scar. I have a scar on the back of my neck that I think is shaped like the state of Maine from a 5.56 case that got stuck in my flak jacket while we were training in a shoot house once.
I was shooting my brothers AR. I shoot lefty. By the time I was done, my neck looked like I had chicken pox or something. Shooting left handed at most shoots, you get this a lot from shooters next to you.
Been there, felt that. 9mm brass. It was the end of the first class I helped out instructing. It was centerfire night, and it went down the collar of the golf shirt I was wearing at the time.
Cherry popped, it left me with a hickey.

This,I have a perfect 5.56 case scar on my forearm.
I got back into highpower shooting last summer, forgot a hat. I was shooting an M1 Garand. First round of timed offhand went straight upland landed between my eyelid and my glasses.
