Heard of this?
I've never rested my barrel on my boot nor known anyone who does but I guess it must be a common practice. Orvis markets this product for doing so.

Some do it while shooting trap, skeet, clays etc.

I always thought it was stupid, but better your toes than my head.


When the tailgate drops the BS stops.

Trap and skeet shooters use it while they are waiting for their turn to shoot....Shotguns..over/under or SxS... are unloaded or sometimes loaded and open until the time the barrel is taken off the pad to shoot...Been in use for decades....

I guess sometime someone took off a toe.....but it would have been extremely rare......in that the rules are you don't close the gun until it is your turn to shoot....

I would be more concerned about those who lean a loaded gun against the car....or lay a loaded gun on the tailgate.....
