It not funny really....

 

How did you get the .22 one?

 

Were you driving and holding the lamp with an over enthuasitic rear gunner?

 

We were zeroing and I was pointing out each rounds mark.

 

I pointed and walked back and heard him say something which I thought was "where?"

 

It wasn't and as I pointed again he let another round go.

 

It shattered the bone in my finger and the bullet lodged inbetween the bone and the pad in my finger.

 

Being hard as nails and frightened to go to the hospital in case they asked awkward questions I got a butcheres knife, put a slit in the skin and dug out the bullet, I then got two lollipop sticks and splintered my finger and left it at that.

 

It took weeks to heal and about six months before I could bend it properly, my trigger finger as well, I was devastated.

 

That finger since, as won numerous pistol and rifle shooting comps at Bisley. Done it the world of good.

My father in law was cleaning his side by side upstairs in his bedroom, forgot he had one up the spout, blew the end of the bed off.

I once shot a magpie in a hawthorn bush with a mates ancient SbyS, the barrel split and burst just in front of my hand. Could'nt feel a thing in that hand for days. made me wary of old guns too.

 

As for reputation, I've only been broken into once. Chased them accros the field at the back of our farm. Must have looked odd, the guy in only his underpants and chainsaw boots, dogs baying, 5 shot savage auto in hand. Let them have 5 rounds over their heads into the woods.

Not been bothered since:001_smile:
