[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 52118, member: 11"] Thanks for the concern. Safety first. My dad told me a story about a friend of his that shot at a chunk of 1 1/4" thick plexiglass with a .45 hardball round. It supposedly did the same and came back and put the guys lights out. I call that narural selection. My plate is hung with eyebolts on the top rear causing the plate to pitch forward. We did have a nice splash line in the dirt below and to the sides from all the bullet frags. All the pieces that we recovered were flat flat flat. There was no way those frags were coming back 100 feet much less 100 yards. I have had bird shot come back and pepper us after being shot at bowling pins @ about 25 yards. Didn't take long to learn that lesson. [/QUOTE]
