I’ve been shot!

I’ve been shot!


Well kind of, me a few friends when out in the desert this morning to do a little target practice. I was shooting at this old hydraulic jack that was about 70 yards away with my 30.06 Springfield, and was punching some nice holes in it. We decided to move it a little closer (about 20-30 yards) so people could hit it with their pistols just to see what damage they could do. Well right before were about to leave I decide to take a few more shots at it with my 30.06 and didn’t bother to take the time to move it back up the hill. I fire the 1st shot and a split second later I feel something hit my left shoulder. My friend then says that he heard the ricochet go right over his head! I tell him something hit my shoulder. He looks and says there is a hole in your shirt, you’ve been shot. So I look at the damage and sure enough I’m bleeding. Now I’m a little concerned thinking that it might be serious even thou it didn’t hurt yet. I put a rag over it to keep blood form getting on my shirt and drove home. Once I got home I cleaned the wound and put a band-aid over it, As far as I can tell it just hit me hard enough to cut the skin but not penetrate. I also have 2 holes in my shirt, entrance and exit I assume. My shoulder is bruised but as long as I don’t touch the wound I feel no pain so I guess I’ll live. But I learned an important lesson. Don’t shoot at metal objects with a high power rifles at close range!


Thx & Cya

Dude.

Good Call!

I break a sweat when my nephew is firing the bb-gun in the backyard. That kid will give it a couple of pumps, leave the safety off, stand it muzzle up right next to the back door. It's one thing if you live out in the country where everyone knows how to use a firearm, it's something else completely when it's in the city where everyone thinks a paintball gun can't kill a sparrow.

I hope that kid *NEVER* tries for a concealed license....

They say that it is best to learn from other peoples mistakes than to learn from your own. Don't you even watch TV? Now go see the doctor and get a X-ray with a Tetanus shot to go with it.

I learned that one when I was about eight.

In the U.K we don't have easy access to guns as you may know.

When I was 7 or 8 my Dad bought an air rifle, cos he had trouble with rabbits at his vegetables.

He went out one Saturday. My Mum was doing housework, and I decided to have a shot at this thing.

I put up the target about 10 feet away!

...wait for it...











...on a brick wall!!!

Needless to say, on my second or third shot I was hit in the forehead!

Ahh. When you're young.

Maybe a good example of why guns are hard to get in U.K.
