Yes, the bolt came out and lucky it tagged the high mount butt plate on the rear of the stock.
Some how it cleared this genitalman face and body at the bolt landed 20 too 25 feet from his shooting position.
I'm not going too comment on what "could" of happened as its not my place too do so, but letting folks know that it can happen some where in our Americas is possible.
It was a Remmy if I recall as I was not thinking about the rifle since my mind was focused of the human part of what was happening.
I'm all about the human element when things go south. The material stuff when damaged is other folks department.
So so lucky the both of them that where right there,,, the shooter and the person beside them.
I hope none of us ever see something like this in all our days.

PS: The fellow was ok with in the 3 minute time frame, but it took him a hour too get his mind set on task.
No medical authorities needed out side the range lucky.
He was ok at the end of the day as he went with others when the shoot was done.
