Sorry to hear about your accident.

I feel I should poke an oar in the water here and also warn everyone here about another ricochet hazard. A old un-inflated car tire if shot into the tread will return a bullet right back at you or off to the side depending on the angle of impact.

Right after I got a Ruger 44 mag. I was "plinking" at a local dumping site near Reno and shot a tire, after I went over to look at it I was suprised to see NO bullet hole, humm, must have missed it.

Well, I went back to my car reloaded and shot it again, this time I could see the tire move from the impact, still no bullet hole. I then crouched down and took careful aim and fired again. This time the bullet came (almost straight) back and went wizzing past my right ear. Three inchs to the left and I wouldn't be writing this. I guess I'm lucky or as I've been told God protects us fools.

Please warn your kids (and friends) not to shoot car tires.
