Thank you too, High Seas. I knew it made no sense. But to be safe we'll stay away from the pond when shooting. Hah!
Not just the pond - any reflective surface (glass, metal plate, etc) is more likely to cause a ricochet than a non-reflective one (like sand). And the general ballistics equations take no account of projectile composition, only of its mass, so keep in mind that lead bullets tend to ricochet more than those manufactured of most other metals or alloys.
