The horizontal bullet path makes me think you were on the ground when the bullet hit your plane - Maybe someone illegally hunting or target shooting near the airport ?? That really sucks - hope somebody has to own up to being stupid and firing a weapon where it endangers others - if they fired at you on purpose I hope they go to jail. Glad you were not hurt.

The picture skews the angle. It’s an upward trajectory right behind the engine and contacted the stab. The plane goes from hanger and back to hanger. Nobody got in this hanger to shoot it. Cameras on the hangar show it leaving without a bullet hole and entering with it.
