welsh1 Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 Been out shooting, come home cleaned the shotgun, and then got the cloth for a final wipe down while sitting down, the cloth caught the fore end stock release catch which tumbled toward the floor, luckily my toe stopped it, the metal corner of the curved end that fits into the trigger end punched a neat little hole into my nail. Thank goodness my toe saved the fore end how lucky am I 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve had a hard time 😂. Broken left foot , broken right leg, broken both big toes and little toes . ive been out setting cameras and feeders this morning followed by the duck shoot tonight so they’re a bit swollen currently. I just remind myself that at least I’ve got legs. 1 hour ago, Jaymo said: God, it’s Gollum So many times 😂 I’ve heard that 1 hour ago, Benthejockey said: Have you got a license for those things?
