Steel is actually quite safe, its the type of steel that makes it safe. You do not get ricochet's with AR500 or harder steel due to the fact the bullet breaks up on impact. This has been proven with countless hours of highspeed video I paid to have taken years ago. There are also things like the degree of obliquity that help in preventing any possible bullet fragments coming back at the shooter at close range (under 30 feet from the target). Its extremely safe. |

My concern is not for the shooter but for those outside the range. Which is why many ranges do not allow metal targets. If every shot by every shooter was straight-on, it wouldn't be a problem but feces occurs and a ricochet results. I'm not trying to tell anyone they shouldn't shoot metal targets, just be aware of the hazards and proceed accordingly.
