Interesting..... I dont really understand the physics as to why his hat would blow off.  ???
Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Country Music.

THE projectile hit him in the hat, and thus his head, 2" lower and could have been very bad news.

That is one lucky SOB.
This is the second similar video I've seen this year. The first involved a .50! from a bench.
This one looks as if the rebound hit the dirt in front of the shooter and bounced up to take off his hat and graze his head.

Just judging by the way the grass is blowing it looks like it was very windy that day.  Once the hat got knocked loose the wind just took it away.  All in all, that is one lucky dude.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Note to self: never shoot at an armor plate at a 90 degree angle.   :)

I got hit by a richochet from a Jennings .22 pistol that I shot at a steel swinger target made for centerfire pistols. It had enough energy to hit my leg and make me say WTF, but not enough to make the target swing. My brother made a similar target and they both worked great with our .357 Magnums, but not so good with a .223 Remington rifle. He blew a dime sized hole through the 3/8" thick steel with a softpoint. A 20 gauge slug made the target spin several times, very fast.  ;D
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

I have had two different instructors tell me NEVER shoot steel target with a shot gun slug. I heard slugs come back at an allarming rate.

Otherwise know as Newtons Third Law of Motion:  "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction!"

The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. The direction of the force on the first object is opposite to the direction of the force on the second object. Forces always come in pairs - equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs...

This ends the lesson in physics.....
