marsh man Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Over the years I have come across all sorts of minor , and not so minor accidents on shooting days and last Saturday I added a new one to the list. Last Saturday was our first full day on Partridges , weather wise , it was a lovely day to be out shooting , if anything it was to nice with a clear day and bright sunshine , still, better to have a warm dry day than a cold wet one . Anyhow the day was going well with some good birds and the guns all seemed happy with the days event , the first drive after dinner I went to pick up for two guns who were dogless , one of the guns who carry a bit more weight than normal was sitting on his shooting stick one minute and the next time I looked he was laying flat out on the stubble , I rushed over to his assistance thinking he might had had a heart attack , when I got there he was laughing aloud and didn't seem in any pain , What had happened was he was sitting on his stick and when he lent back the stem of the stick bent in two and he fell off , looking at his shooting stick he could have had a nasty shock if half of the broken stick had gone up his backside . I think the moral of this story is to make sure your shooting stick is strong enough for your weight, and to sit upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clenched everything when I read that...….. could have been very nasty. 😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
