I shoot about 350 rounds of skeet a year - and t doesn't happen that often ....I get hit 4 or 5 times a year - and it rarely breaks the skin --- but I got hit yesterday with a small chunk of clay from station 8 - in the left cheek. ( .. it was for a 24 ...so no revenge could be taken )....it was just the skeet gods getting their licks in !
No big deal - scratch on my cheek is only about an inch long ...and it bled a little ...so its clean.../ nothing to dig out ...( and I'm happy it hit me in the face and not one of my squadmates ...and it didn't scratch my gun ..) ...but I always wear a hat and glasses...just in case.
We've been shooting these bio-degradeable targets at my club for a few months --- and we seem to be getting more big pieces off of these targets - even if we hit them pretty hard ( but I could have hit that one a little harder ...and its just part of the game ).
