--Injury.
Thing Two brought her sprogs over to the farm to get some basic gun safety learning.
She was shooting the Heritage six .22 and I was standing next to it- sitting against the tailgate -in line with the forcing cone when it didn't lock up quite right and the forcing cone shaved part of the bullet.
It caught me right above the collar bone.
Sprog 2 learned his 4 rules and after some trepidation, liked shooting that little .22 revolver.
He's too small for a full sized rifle, but he'll grow into it.
Is that a at home photo or at the ER??
ReplyDeleteI've been hit a few times with ricochets, but never broke the skin.
Home after we were done.
DeleteI'm not going to the ER for just a scratch.

DeleteFew inches higher & you may have changed your mind.
DeleteI didn't know if part of that bullet actually got buried.
DeleteIt didn't. Barely hit hard enough to break the skin.
DeleteBut it stung.
I ensure I stand no farther forward than a lateral line drawn through the shooter's shoulders. You've shown why.
ReplyDeleteThough the injury may be slight, that's a sensitive area. Here's to your rapid healing without lingering physical effects. Pray the shooter understand it was not his fault.
