Any round that passes through an object and strikes an unintended target is a miss. I am with others on the forum in that I think a person should be proficient enough to hit his target or do not make that trigger press. I of all people understand the excitement of a shoot out BUT here where I live a man was shot at by several officers and hit once in the ankle by a bounced bullet from under a car. They picked up 47 pieces of LE brass. I have several LEs that come here, they range from miserable to OK. NONE have passed the simple 5 shot Wizard Drill.
