I have been hit by ricochet birdshot before from about 25 feet from the point of ricochet. It did not penetrate skin, but was pretty painful and left red marks on the exposed skin. It was definitely a rude awakening and not what I was expecting. This did not happen at an indoor range though. Just don't shoot at a plastic raft paddle - whatever they make it out of is very ricochet prone.
