I know I shouldn't, but I couldn't help smile at reading that
One experience (bad) that I had, was when a friend and I were getting ready to go shooting.
Friend spotted a bunny squatting under a bush approx. 200 metres away.
He said, "Bet you can't clobber him from here".
That was like the red rag to the bull.
I leant across the tray of his ute with the 22/250, lined him up and squeezed. *Note; No hearing protection as it was only gonna be one shot.
What I failed to take into account was,,, He had a steel sided dog crate across the rear end on my right, and the steel head board was on my left.
Talk about a double whammy.
Anyway, whilst talking about hearing protection, how about this that I was told just recently on another forum.
A fella from Scotland told me that OH&S is taken so seriously nowadays, that the equivalent of the F/Arms branch over there, quite often ask registered F/Arm owners if they want the classification that enables ownership of a Moderator / Silencer.

I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
