I've done it. I am a bleeder. Head wounds usually bleed a lot anyway. Looked worse than it was because of the amount of blood. Didn't need any stitches and it heeled up pretty good.

My mum is the biggest anti...took her to one of my rimfire comps, I decided I'd have a shot of our .308 straigh after 200 rounds of .22 ...yeah didn't really help her opinion of guns.

She still refuses to touch them but I have learned to adjust to it quickly now lol.

I am a regular wearer of the Weatherby eyebrow, so much so that my work colleagues think I go to Fight Club. It is not just my 378 WM or 460WM that have tagged me but a friends CZ 550 chambered in 450 Rigby and a Ruger #1 in the mild mannered 450/400 Jeffery. A penalty for being tall I guess.

BANG ! got him a beauty, blood and all.

I missed the fun but saw the aftermath. It was a decent cut about 1 cm long and a slight black eye :lol:


Mate of mine did exactly the same thing with my 223 one night lol

“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

I love my country, but fear my government.

18 months ago, with my 7mm-08. Had a bad/hurried rest on the back of the vehicle, and didnt notice how close my face was to the scope.
Pulled the trigger, and regretted it...
I'm on blood thinners, so bled like a stuck pig, even though it was a cm long cut at best.

Ended up having a muzzle brake fitted as a result, and really glad I was prompted to do it.
