Toss up, between the time I shot straight up at a crow using a borrowed Win. M120 Ranger 12ga pump w/3" mag load (plastic butt plate on collar bone).

Or the time a known miscreant at our gun club, suckered me into shooting his Siamese Mauser, with a "mild, cast bullet load". Shot it from the bench, resulting in a very sore shoulder and the idiot cacklin' behind me like a mad hatter, then telling me that load was "nippin' at the heels of the 458 Winchester".

Okay, I was probably "the idiot" in both cases.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
