-Mongrel- Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) The idea of resting a shotgun on my foot has never sat well with me, one day I might forget that I'm using the semi-auto and leave one in the chamber.... :blink: I prefer to hold my broken gun in the crook of my elbow, or occasionally broken across the shoulder.

figgy Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) Yes plenty use them when clay shooting. Saves getting black circles on you shoes/boots. As you stand with gun empty and broken its a good place to rest the muzzles. Figgy Edited August 20, 2013 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I don't use one but cant see anything wrong with them as the only time a gun should be in a position to fire is when you are pointing at a clay or bird,gun should be broke at all other times.

Will Poon Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I use mine all the time, you've got to be really dim to have a loaded gun resting on your foot especially if your sxs or o/u is not broken ,Not every cage or trap stand has somewhere to rest your gun and if you don't walk round with a gun slip of some sort it can be a pain in the bum, so one of these can be ideal or the job Edited August 21, 2013 by Willpoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobC1990 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 yeah I use mine all the time clay shooting - who ever done that must be pretty thick - I would never have a cartridge in my gun resting it against any part of my body lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OvEr_KiLL Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 err. these are most common in trap shooting as some times the pegs dont have gun mats on the floor to rest the gun on and when you rest the gun on the mat or your foot it is broken with 2 cartridges in ready for your turn!

Broken across the shoulder is not a good idea, you end up turning around and someone stood behind you gets the stock of your gun smacking them in the face. Seen it happen many times.

100milesaway Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Unfortunatly I have seen on many occasions people loading guns and then lifting them over the safety cage bar, an absolute recipe for a mangled foot or worse if you slip. from Auntie.

-Mongrel- Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Broken across the shoulder is not a good idea, you end up turning around and someone stood behind you gets the stock of your gun smacking them in the face. Seen it happen many times. Unlikely in my particular circumstances. I only do this in the field where I generally shoot solo. At a clay ground it's in a slip until I enter the cage, then it is broken, removed and shot, before being put back in the slip before I leave the cage. Can see how it could happen though.

thameside Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Went to a clay shoot last week & bloke was using one . His had a protruding bit that went into the barrel . Although he only put it on his foot when the gun was broken.Although at the same ground around 10 years ago someone rested a loaded auto on his foot . You guest right supposedly it went off , this was about an hour before we had arrived . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbiep Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Interesting with all the 'only ever do this if the gun is unloaded' replies. Pretty certain that most shooting accidents that happen are with guns that it was 'thought' were not loaded. I was always taught, if gun is out of slip, then gun broken, no cartridges in chamber unless about to shoot, barrels in a safe direction. All 3 of those, not 1 or 2 of them.
