Well Scent at least you had someone else to blame mate,i shot myself once!!.Shooting pigeons for my ferrets and stubbed the barrel into the ground,when i went to break it to clear out the mud i tripped and pulled the trigger shooting myself in the little finger.To say it a stupid thing to do is taking it easy and the laughs at home at me and at the hospital(i couldn't squeeze the pellet out)rubbed salt into the wound i can tell you .
imagine trying to pick out dozens of the b*****ds it was a shotgun i got shot with
