I got hit with a very small piece of metal that ricocheted this past weekend.
15 yards away shooting steel.
At the same time the shooter ahead of me (I was behind the line on the left) was hit someplace and had a cut.
That is what I heard him talk about but I did not actually see it.
It was more than likely Blazer.
As for my "wound" it could have not hit a better spot.
It took it right in the gut and it left a small mark on my shirt and I seem to recall seeing a metallic remnant the size of a caraway seed.
It did not hurt at all but I felt a needle prick.
When I lifted my shirt a while later, I saw a tiny abrasion that was 1cm long and .5cm was a cut that drew less a tiny bit of blood.
The shirt really made the wound less damaging.
It could have done serious damage to an unprotected eye.
Although no worse than a paper cut, it shows how freak accidents can happen.
Also more proof of needed eye protection that wraps around the whole eye.
If this sort of thing happened to John Kerry, he would have 5 Purple Hearts.
