Occupational Hazard..

So the "Shots for Tots" event went very well. We raised a thousand dollars cash and two huge boxes of toys! Everyone had a great time and we met some new shooters as well.

I do have a new story to tell however. I guess if you are an RSO or instructor long enough you may get this diagnosis on a form sooner or later:



A totally freak accident, bullet ricochet from a pin while RSO on the right side of the range. It did crack the cheekbone.



I guess if I need to start a story at a bar I can always start off with the "I got shot in the face" story!

Oh, it was a Glock 9mm. Shooter nor audience noticed my injury or leaving the range! No need to scare the horses, right?

  4. I guess you found out not to put your nose where it doesn't belong. I hate hearing that stuff with my many visits to the range. I have a helpful video for you from yesterday.

    Everyone said: "That's just his head, not a vital organ on him."

  10. Shooting steel is fun but the occasional "thunk" of something coming back tends to put me off.
