When a projectile strikes the target plate, fragments are typically deflected \u003cstrong data-start=\"459\" data-end=\"502\"\u003edownward and rearward toward the ground\u003c\/strong\u003e, behind the target. The cover plate is placed to intercept fragments that travel rearward, allowing them to deflect safely toward the ground instead of embedding into or degrading the timber post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"701\" data-end=\"889\"\u003eWithout a protector fitted, repeated secondary impacts can cause projectiles or fragments to embed into the timber post, leading to premature deterioration and structural damage over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"1298\"\u003eWhen the protector is installed, be aware that \u003cstrong data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1017\"\u003esecondary deflection striking the cover plate can deflect fragments forward\u003c\/strong\u003e, generally up to \u003cstrong data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003eapproximately 1–1.5 metres in front of the target\u003c\/strong\u003e.
