Hi all i would like your comments on my findings ,i probably average around 100 deer a year for the past 15yrs ,i shot a deer which had been wounded at close range and got a object come back which struck me on the face.I started to do a bit of research on the subject what i found were interesting to say the leased.M.O.D N.R.A National Police Improvement Agency and all ranges have a policy of no rifle to be shot less than 50mts into a unpredictable back stop ,and 20mts into a soft or sand ,i tried a crude experiment by placing a large rock in the back of a cardboard box shot 1 shot at 100yds ,the rock was smashed the front was full of holes from shrapnel ,i looked up Newtons 3rd law for every force there is a opposite and equal apposing force,i checked the web for bullets in slow motion every time a bullet hits a object you get fragments coming back.Now when you think these rifles can produce between 2000 and over 3000fbs of energy and can be spinning at over 3000rev a second which can produce over 12fbs of energy.When doing level1 the safety aspect was when shooting a deer make sure there is a safe back stop at say 100yds,yet for humane dispatch at between 5 and 25cms no is no mention of safety.My opinion is that someone passing there level 1 with maybe very limited knowledge should be made totally aware of these dangers.
