I dug it out with a penknife (only skin deep), still got the scar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbuster Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 My mate got shot in the legs when he was a kid, him and his 'mate' were out flushing bunnies from a hedge, one either side. Rabbit bolted very close range, his 'mate' got all excited and put a cartridge through the hedge! You can imagine the rest!! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I've never been seriously hit. When I was a lad (12-13) some yob kid on a bike shot me with a Gat gun, but I returned fire with my HW45 and he came out of it worse! My mate also shot me in the @55 with his BB gun once - wasn't too chuffed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockercas Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I bear the scars on my leg from when I was about 10-11 and a group of mates decided to have a airgun war I hid behind a tree and got hit in the knee cap. Altho not everyone who shoots crows out of trees is an idiot I do it quite regular. Safe backstop behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowchaser Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Interesting topic, though not pleasent for those on the receiving end of a gun. Speaking of friends inviting their friends to come along and shoot - sometimes without your prior knowledge is annoying. It's happened to me on a few occasions, I never had a problem with anyone, it's just you never know. The worst part was that when one guy fired the gun he nearly dropped it! I've told my friends now that the ivite has to come from me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Only as a kid, and thinking that shooting elderberries out of an air rifle would make a good splash of fake blood.....We weren't stupid, oh no, we protected our bodies with cardboard under our tee shirts. :blink: Not clever.

humperdingle Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Been shot by a deflected shotgun pellet... Fortunately my thick hunting trousers prevented the piece of shot from reaching beyond their layer... (Hit me on the inner thigh, 2" away from my sack ) Bloody stung for a few minutes and left a nice we welt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yes, I was shot by myself, using the muzzle loader, in the study. Actually it was the farm, but that isnt in Cluedo. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but it involved an attempt at patterning, a surprisingly hard sheet of chipboard, an inadequately small charge of powder and a load of rebounding shot. The bag for the day was me, Wabbitbosher and Wb's mate Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 About 20 years ago an old boss shot me with my own air rifle which i'd brought in to shoot the ferral pigeons which kept roosting in our building.He fired at a hollow core door from about 10ft and i was standing on the other side having a coffee chatting to our sales rep.Damn pellet went through overalls,jeans and imbedded itself in my leg-which i picked out with a screwdriver then cleaned up with TCP and plaster.Scariest thing was it was at genitals level and i still shudder to what might have happened. It was bloody painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Got shot with an air rifle many moons ago. Hurt like ****! Makes me wonder how these cowboys and the like in films get shot and just keep going as if nothing happened. I know i was jumping about squealing for 10 minutes or more.

vmax55 Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 i took my sisters boyfriend shooting to a mates clayshoot( and yes he does hold a sgc ). on this particular shoot theres a armed response policemen that often comes for a shoot every now and then. well this time he turned up sporting a brand new four wheel drive to show off with and had parked it where the traps are operated from next to a caravan. the first stand stood three guns including my sisters ****** of a boyfriend. i watched him close the gun and shout pull. he brought the gun up to his shoulder pointing it at the group of people stood by the caravan on the way up and covering the trigger with his finger in the process and before the gun reached his shoulder he had accidently pulled the trigger. bang...... smash. he had managed to not only shoot the coppers brand new 4x4 peppering the bonnet and smashing the windscreen but shot the copper aswell. luckily no one was hurt and the shot had gone through the sleeve of his jacket. it took alot of restraint not to give him the army treatment and rifle butt the prik in the back of the head.

Scully Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 I don't get angry when I read of such threads regarding shooting birds in trees with a rimfire or heavier calibres.As long as it's done at an angle of 90 degrees I don't have an issue with it.Judging from the responses so far,it would appear most incidences of wounding done by negligence or accident are done with a shotgun or air rifle.

grouse2008 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 never actually had a pellet hit me surprisingly but most seasons i have pellets zinging past whilst beating, and at one shoot the guns were warned that a beater would be in the game covert on the hill brow, that was very close!! Had a friend who shot at a partridge near some telephone wires and the ricochet was hard enough to break the skin on his forehead, very lucky it wasnt his eye, and his head has a thick bone layer! Bled quite well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A workmate shot himself with a 'Paslode'(good job he was just using 50's at the time)Icy morning,putting down locators on a wall plate.Stabbed at the ply,gun didn't go off(cold gas probably)slid along ice 'til it hit his thumb,then went off! Took a nice divot out of his thumb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 My brother was shot with an air rifle when he was about ten or eleven by a neighbours son a little older. Usual "its not loaded" rubbish. The pellet hit the main artery in the groin, he was taken to hospital and somehow the pellet had to be left in while they operated due to the severity of the injury the doctors were unsure what would happen if they removed it? My dad at the time was going to wrap the airgun around the head of the other boys father!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, but twice, both with 90mm ringshanks!!! Proper hurt, the first time was nailing a fascia to a noggin (didnt think as was on price and rushing) and boff, straight through, pulled it out and struggled down the ladder with blood down my arm, straight in my mates van into A+E, haha. Left a massive bruise on the underside of my forearm for some reason. Second I was fencing at a mates house, nailed but it "fishooked" and came back, but it pushed my finger away instead of going in. Never been shot with anything else apart from BB guns when I was younger. Touch wood!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
