The motorsports enthusiast, who styles himself on the Dukes of Hazzard, explained he had been struck by a stray bullet from his own gun.
Detwiler had been shooting 50 caliber bullets into steel plates set out on the ground “like a boss to see how many would go through”.
However, one of the bullets ricocheted off one of the plates, striking him on the forehead.
