No Pete, My shooting range is down the creek a bit. I don't do any shooting real near the house because of the wildlife, my pet cats and my Wife.
Mainly my Wife.
Besides the propane tank is nearly empty....I tried to shoot one years ago, a much smaller one and a pistol round would not penetrate it. At least up to .45 ACP. Pistol rounds in smaller calibers will not penetrate much metal. I guess a .44 Mag might and a 223 deffinately will go through quarter inch steel. So will an AK round, 7.62X39. Better hide behind something substantial with the bigger ones! Jerry Burney
