We took turns firing and “working” the target. I only heard one shot.

Well dang, how close were you to the target anyway? Sounds risky (and how far from the shooter was that)?

I've only been unintentionally downrange on one occasion... national forest doing some target shooting, and some other shooters on a nearby hill decided "who needs a backstop" and the rounds were literally flying just over our heads until we flagged a passing ranger down to go stop those idjits.

Our group definitely heard the crack of the round go by followed by the report later... I'd guess they were maybe 800 yards? Hard to say... around a bend in the road and uphill from the same place we were and I'm terrible at estimating distances. :)
