I assumed you weren't rarely getting splatter because you said that you got "some splatter bouncing back on us". Splatter isn't really too dangerous, but if you're getting regular splatter that means your target is scarred, i.e. higher chance of ricochet in your direction.

Anyways, it's your choice, man. Sorry I jumped on you so hard, I just have a thing against metal for plinking. Happy shooting.

Actually, my buddies and I DO shoot competitively. We also use targets that fall back, when hit. The splatter is not dangerous, it is not a richochet. And, splatter, as it is, is an exceedingly rare occurance. Out of THOUSANDS of rounds... splatter almost never happens. These same style of targets are used at other IPSC matches in the area.

Rifter, I've made a reply to your comment. Please don't take this the wrong way, but for my own comfort, would you reconsider your choice to shoot steel?

In reply to your comment:
My buddies and I shoot steel all the time. We shoot close range with pistols, and get some splatter bouncing back on us. For a little .223 round, we put those out at 100 yards, to be safe. We also use soft bullets so they expend their energy on the target, and won't bounce back too far.
