4eyes Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 me too, thought it might have looked a hell of a lot worse than that, not that it looks too health either mind! All the best with a speedy recovery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexr Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh you have to love the medical profession. Not content with the fact that the effected foot has a bloody hole in it they have to draw a big arrow on the leg so that they remember which one to operate on...... Hope your better soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSPUK Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I bet that stung but seems you will be OK -- If you want to see how bullets expand have a look at Fieldsports TV at bottom of forum page - quite an eye opener for me as I have never been rifle shooter. Did I miss Do you live around West Midlands as a shooter shot himself in foot at our shoot a good few years ago - I heard two toes went with the shot - left a good sized hole in pallet he was standing on.

kent Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Takes a lot to fess up to such an act. Whatever caused this accident (personally i feel the stupid muzzle resting trick clay shots do is a major cause of this accident). Muzzle awareness at all times when a gun is loaded or not will prevent injuries in the event of a negligent discharge.- Hey we all do daft stuff, its only like getting a fork out to eat your cornflakes etc. just a lot more serious consequences, thank goodness it wasn't someones head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedwickedmotox Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 When i was a little fella i had my airgun a weirauch hw77 .177, now this gun went every ehere with me and i loved it. It was fitted with v sights and a special trigger because it was atarget shooter gun(i swapped the target sights) any how the trigger on it was feather light and i mean feather light, any how i went shooting over my cousins farm and we did a gun swap i used his bsa meteor after another unsucessfull shooting trip(shot out ferreted out years ag by ourselfs!) i was sat on a gate playing with his gun, with the barrel resting on my big toe(i know) i was touching the trigger feeling the freeplay when twang oops the guns gone off! looked at my trainers to see a .22 sized hole and blood start to ooze out yes i shot my big toe right on the knuckle and the pellet was wedged in the joint, after a bit of cutting and digging by my dad with his knife it came out. Lesson learned! never messed with guns since always respect them! Although i have been shot in the face with 56g no 1 shot but thats another story and another lesson learned!

the enigma Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Man,that's nasty. Hey,all it takes is a lapse of concentration for one split second,we all make mistakes,but most of the time we get way without any serious consequences.It's happened to me,same situation as yourself,but thankfully I only tagged the door of the auld boy's jeep. :yp: I'm now verging on OCD everytime I handle a gun. Well done for posting and hope you make a speedy recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_evil Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Damn, that gixxer link is nasty, I've had my share of accidents and you're up there with me I stupidly managed to walk through a glass door 1 hour into a holiday, ended up in hospital 20 mins later with glass in my foot and leg alongside a lacerated patella tendon and my leg sliced straight across the knee down to the bone, must admit though I was seriously intrigued by how the body builds layers up under the skin hahaha, 6 hours later and out of surgery for months of rehab must say though Singapores medical service is excellent (don't reckon I'd have been as well taken care of in the UK with the NHS) Good luck with the recovery mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
