Sounds vaguely familiar...where have I heard that before?

Wondered when you'd show up, Crossfire...

Hmm, how tall is your daughter? It is possible, especially if she's short, that a "head shot" would make the trajectory of the projectile pass over the berm. Couldn't tell what the "white spots" beneath the tires were, I presume that's the metal you're referring to. Also, it is not recommended to use tires on a shooting range, as they generally won't stop bullets, and can cause ricochets due to the steel-belting.

What's the white rectangle in the picture above the targets, surrounding the tires? Looks like something added to the picture? Or possibly a plexiglass (clear) baffle?

Out door range - debris??? This range has a large piece of sheet metal running over the birm to keep rounds from exiting, or from people shooting over the birm.

Hmmm, doesn't exactly sound like "the highest level of care".

Did you ever remember the name of the range?

Was this an indoor, or outdoor range? I presumed it was outdoor, shooting into a earthen backstop containing some debris.

I'm not sure the crease in the bullet was caused by my belt buckle, or by whatever the bullet hit. I am confident, however, that the belt buckle kept me from ending up in the ER that day having a slug removed.

I have kept it as a keepsake. If I can survive being shot on my wedding day, my marriage can withstand anything!

p.s. I told my "wife" on the way to the reception and handed her the bullet. She cried, but was happy I was still around, LOL.

Naw... It only counts that way if you're shot BY YOUR FIANCÉ !! Random rounds? Man up, dude!
