Thanks for the explanation! I've been watching videos on youtube of guys shooting these targets in relative safety but I wanted to see what your guys' experience was in real life.
I'm in talks with some friends to see if they want to get in with me on a target or two.

One time I hung an AR500 target in a tree, and I was a little surprised to see shrapnel bite in the tree branches all around the circumference of the plate, from where the bullets splattered and the bits went flying radially. If you hang the plate with bailing twine or string, your target will fall to the ground at every shot before the shrapnel bits cut through the twine every time. We're talking about tiny little bits of shrapnel, maybe the size of the head of a pin.
