You are no longer welcome at this establishment

[Baldrik78]

This establishment being Diamond Training Center. Stay out of lane 7. It has a tendency to throw bullets back at you. I've been struck in the face twice by projectiles coming out of the bullet trap. The operator does not believe this happens.

His exact words, "I don't buy that."

I'll tolerate a lot of things, but being called a liar isn't one of them.

Were you talking to Troy ?

If so, that sucks.

Yes.

Is that the old red jacket firing range? If so, I have been hit by shrapnel there as well. I think they have a much different backstop than precision or any other place I have shot at.

It is. They have some really chewed up steel plates that they tried covering with carpet and sand. The plates need replacing - not some bandaid patch job.

Report it to the BATFE.

BATFE has nothing to do with ranges......EPA....OSHA....that is another story though.

I wasn't sure which agency would oversee something like this, but, yeah... OSHA may be a good bet.

unless someone is Bleeding and you have video, I doubt they care..

My wife and i passed in front of there today and i commented to her that i had been hit in the face with shrapnel there. Hadn't been back since.

 

[bravo3]

Unless you WORK there and are hit, it's not OSHA's concern and they couldn't care less.

THANKS FOR THE "HEADS UP" FELLAS!!!

I will stay away from there.

When it happened, I was bleeding, streaming down my nose, actually, and immediately reported it to the "range officer" who took a "report" on the back of some other form. He saw the blood coming out of my face.

No video though. That must have been what I was missing. No video = obvious liar.

This is why we wear safety glasses. Glad you're okay as it could have been much worse. I've always had great experiences there, but since Gnomez ain't there no mo, and this, I'll stay away

It's been a few years, but I have been hit in the face with shrapnel at Precision. Don't remember the details such as caliber, lane no., or anything else, but I was hit. Twice in one shooting session IIRC

As I understand it, the usual crew at Precision that does USPSA style steel targets, this was a normal thing. It stings, you move on. They have since moved to the plastic targets, I believe.

Here was his last incident. Was it the same lane?
