The Hazards Of Rat Shooting

[Rhodey 96]

As the title suggests had a mishap whilst out rat shooting in the calf pens at my work not so long back. Took a shot at a fat little b*****d and the pellet ricocheted back of the wall and came back to say hello to the side of my head.

 

Had an operation 4 weeks ago to try to remove it but they couldn't get it out. And by the way it bloody well hurt and it's only a 11ftlb springer.

 

When it happened and thats not my bathroom at home its the shower room at work.

 

Hospital X-Ray showing the pellet

 

After the operation the scar goes from my ear to three quaters across my head something to tell the grankids.

 

But at least the rat died thats the main thing.

i shot myself not from shooing rats thogh

i shot a golf ball and it came back and hit me straight in the head

which there was a lot of blood about 6 months later i had it taken out at the docs

which by that time the nerves had grew over it

and they struggled to get it out.. but they managed it in the end

 

i still have the pellet now

are they going to try and get it out again , did it go in just above your ear?

 

shit luck that

[Rhodey 96]

It went in next to my eye brow and ended up by my ear and jaw bone there just going to leave it unless it causes problems.

 

8SHOT - Wish i had the pellet something to remember it by.

so your telling me you wear eye protection while lamping or in dim;y lit places? i can understand clay pigeon or target but not looking for rats.

 

i was welder by trade mate so dont ty and mug me off with your list lol , i wouldnt dream of grinding / welding in a room with a torch as the only light .

 

this was an accident and they do happen, just like the thousands of welders everyday who have welded for years end up going home with arc eye.

 

main thing is he is going to be ok

Best head shot of the session,pity it was his own .
