Thread: A silly question ... but quite serious really

1 - in a grassy paddock?
2 - on a gravel road?
Thoughts or comments?

I've used 22 in a largely gravel area before and had a few ricochets so stopped using it there straight away, can definitely hear them pinging off and god knows how far or direction they go in so to me it's not worth the risk..
