Caught frag in my chest today.

They closed down a few years ago, but Target Masters Indoor Range in Milpitas had lots and lots of intentional shots along with the unintentional shots.

Yep. It was a worn target so I probably hit a dent and it tossed it back at me.

I was going to say. I shoot steel targets often for handgun training at 7 and 10 yards. They're all angled at around 20 degrees. I definitely need to double check the targets. I'm glad you're ok.

I got hit in the leg. The piece for frag stayed in my leg for over a year before I could pull it out.

Damn. It wasn't infected or anything?

Update: I went to two surgeons and they both agreed it was too risky to remove. It ended up between the 5th and 6th cartilage next to the sternum. It is too close to the pericardium and if they nick it during the removal, things could go south very fast. I did get approved for MRIs but it took a long time to find someone who would approve doing it. The concern wasn't about the jacket frag moving but rather it heating up like a pan on an induction stove. It didn't heat up so I am good to go for now on.
