[quote="jennageit"]It's reading stories like yours Westy that make me wonder how we survived, but we did, and had a blast along the way.
Another worst, not from me though.
This is a third hand story, but I saw the end result in person.
One of dads mates was lined up a shot, using a railway track to steady his gun. His sight cleared the second rail, but the end of the barrel didn't. He pulled the trigger, and copped the ricochet when the shot hit the rail. It made a real mess of his face, and he lost his left eye, but it didn't
A mate did a similar thing. Shooting over the bonnet of his new landrover. Sight cleared the bonnet, barrel didn't. Big gouge outa the new bonnet from a 22/250
