Chuck,
If you're referring to
my first post with the movie, that was just a piece of the target that came by. I would estimate about half of it.
Normally, any broken bird, or the whole bird, drops in front of the shooter and creates no potential hazard.
Rarely does any part of it get to the shooter as evidenced by the lack of clay pigeon pieces near the shooting stand. Just one of those oddities that happens and good reason to wear your eye protection and be alert.
But you are right that a poorly set trap or too much spring tension would definitely need attention and changed.
Thanks, Chuck, for your comments.
