    I saw a lady at a pistol range take a .22 case down the front. It got stuck in her bra and burned her. She was less than pleased...

    Went out to range one day but had real trouble getting rifle to perform well. Left the bolt at home.

    I did this with an axe when I was about 8. Was up a tree down at the river near our house using it to chop branches off to whittle into spears, dropped the axe from the tree, was hit by a spray of water.

    How was I supposed to know that my neighbour was pumping and purifying his drinking water from the river?! Nothing that a roll of insulation tape didn't fix though. Went down there a couple of years back and it's still holding strong.

    Is it who I think it is? I have seen you shoot groups like that so you are not talking about yourself. That group on yer toe is a good example I would have to shoot from 1K standing unsupported for my groups to open up that much Na I just have never shot a .3 inch group so it isnt me.

    G'Day Fella's,

    I once seen a empty .300 Win Mag case from a BAR, go straight through the windscreen of a Land Cruiser I was driving.
    That got my attention!!!

    Luckily, it wasn't My LC, it was the shooters!!!

    Double Doh!!

    Not my fail but still worth a mention. Dropped a party into the hills one roar that cost them a wee fortune. One of the party on their second load spent most of the flight in, telling me how unorganized the other members of his party were and how they forget just about everything useful every trip. Got a call on the mountain radio the same night asking if I could break into his car and grab his bolt and ammo and drop them down to him the next day. I did, at no extra charge, but couldnt help myself and had to tell his mates what he told me the day before.
    I thought I noticed some tention in the group when I grabbed them a week later.

    G'Day Fella's,

    Unfortunately, I found out that my bullet trap, has a Maximum Capacity!
    It is something More Than 65 grains of Win 748 powder and something Less Than 90 grains of Reloader 22!

    You can see in this image, that the 16mm MDF front fascia was blown into three pieces and bits flew everywhere!
    Also, note the band-aid on my left thumb. After two weeks, I finally cut the Thumb Nail off today.

    Doh!
