Why not steel?

Steel will ricochet somewhere not intended or even come back at you. Steel also can make sparks being hard material. Copper and lead are softer and will not ricochet as much.
If you don't live in the cement jungle it's not that big of a deal, except for the sparks which may cause a fire.

Steel is much less likely to deform and much more likely to ricochet. Copper or lead isn't.

Ok so steel out in the desert, copper in town. Thanks guys!

I recently picked up a Glock replica handgun .177 caliber for ratting. Damned thing is powerful. Blows holes right through rats. I gotta watch out for ricocheting BBs when I fire it. :eek:

Wait? That's a thing!?!

Well, rats make my skin crawl, so, I guess I'm glad it is a thing. Still, I always laugh at the line from the movie Sweet and Lowdown, "Hey, you girls wanna go down to the dump and shoots some rats!?!":Roflmao

LOL! More often than Id like to see, the traps capture a rat in a way that doesnt kill it and causes it great suffering. I got tired of feeling their skull crunch under my shoe so I bought a compact air gun to do the deed.
 
I haven't ridden either. Have had a couple opportunities but stuff just comes up like today. Maybe drag my bike out tonight after work, even if it's just around the block. Been wanting to hit the F loop. I'm off tomorrow, just not looking forward to being on trails full of hikers.
 
Because I went to the local range and discovered that not practicing for over 30 years makes one deficient. But it WAS offhand, at 25 yards...

Maaaan!
It’s hot here. I mean really hot. Was gonna get out but was gonna ride by myself. Y’all know how I feel about riding by myself.
So I din’t. I’m a failure. A loser, worthless, weak…

“Oh! Hey Honey! Glad you are back from town! You what? Bought a 12’ver of ice cold Pacifico?”

Well? It’s always Pacifico Standard Time according to MY watch!

LOL

Two of the things that make life better:
*bacon
*Pacifico
 
Haven't ridden in a couple weeks due to a pinched nerve in my back and arm. Painful a F@ck. It's subsided but now my neck is stiff....arrhghh!

On a interesting note, my riding buddy just bought a 2025 Ibis Ripley carbon from Bike Co. Due to be delivered in a few weeks just about the time they'll reveal it. I can't find anything on it, and he doesn't have a pic.... Supposed to be all Hush Hush so figured I'd tell y'all. :speechless:

Hope i'm better in time to enjoy ride on 4th holiday and join for the inaugural Ibis ride.
