I have not confirmed this yet. But I am hearing someone accidently shot themself in the leg at the Bullet Hole in the past few days. Does anyone know anything about this?

eeek. Hope not.

Listen to GFH radio. Story is guy had hot brass go down the back of his shirt.

Dumba$$ went to clear it with his gun hand. Problem is gun was still in his hand.

 

Shot himself in the leg. Got immediate care and when he got out of hospital,

He came back to apologize to BH owners for being an a$$.

 

 

not surprising to say the least.

 

hope hes alright

Wow, that's scary.

Probably with a Glock and a Serpa Holster! j/k

 

In all seriousness glad he didnt hurt himself more or anyone else.

Hot brass does suck though.

yeah , took it down the front of my shirt. Did not flinch , safely put down gun , got a burn.

 

That is scary , he could have hurt or killed someone else . There is usually a line of bystanders behind the ports.

 

I suspect accidents happen when people forget the gravity of the item they are holding in their hand. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that a guy used his gun to push his ears aside to hear what someone was saying. How do people get that complacent?

 

Glad nobody was else hurt and glad this guy did not sustain a more serious injury.

I have a few burns from hot brass. The **** is that you have to calmly take the burn until you can safely put down the gun and address it. The worst one was on my neck and looked like a hickey.

Guys, tell your girlfriends and wives not to wear low cut tops to the range. It's a recipe for disaster. I have seen more than a few women jumpiong up and down at Shore Shot over the years.

+1 on what lunker said. If you have the chance , tell a new shooter to wear a regular collar.I was wearing a zip up light jacket over a tank top. Since that happened I always wear a regular crew neck tshirt .

Kind of like swerving into oncoming traffic to avoid running over a squirrel.

I saw a lady cause a pileup on the NY thruway because a goose landed in the middle lane.

 

 

You just gotta take the burn. It's not that bad.

Genius

 

When did this happen? Fortunately no one else was hurt.

A high school classmate of mine from Bergen Catholic did this after the prom and rolled his van to avoid one. His senior yearbook quote: I flip for squirrels.

You just gotta take the burn. It's not that bad.

 

It really is not. Unless he was worried about back hair igniting or something , I do not see it as a pain worthy of fast movement when you are handling a steak knife , let alone a firearm.

I had 10mm case lodge between my shooting glasses and eyebrow one night. That was fun... not. And I have seen the not so funny yet somehow interesting "case in the cleavage" trick a few times. Always entertaining after all systems are secured.

Mrs Pete - This has happened to both of my girls, wife and daughter. Only takes one time to teach you to cover up.

Tight collared shooting attire is now the norm.

This happens to me like 20 times per range trip. Glad I don't shoot myself over each one. Nowadays it only gets my attention if I have to remove my safety glasses. Which would mean I had them on wrong or took my cap off.

We had a guy get a case burn in my academy. He started dancing around like a ballerina muzzle flashing everybody on the line. RO's ripped him so badly he never made that mistake again. It might have helped that we told him if he muzzle flashed us again like that extra pt would be the least of his complaints

Just last week I had an ejected casing catch in my safety glasses. I usually wear a hat when I shoot, but I didn't feel like dealing with hat head, so I wasn't wearing one. I quickly, but calmly, put the gun down and got the shell out. It didn't really hurt, but the next day I had a small scab over my eyebrow. People kept asking me what happened, and I would just tell them that I scraped it on a branch while I was running some trails.

Someone did something stupid and dangerous at the Bullet Hole? Inconceivable!

There's been more than a couple of ladies i;ve taken shooting who i've had to send back into their house or apt for more appropriate clothing.....Much as i like Looking, brass burns on the Tatas is a good way to turn a new shooter off.

yeah , took it down the front of my shirt. Did not flinch , safely put down gun , got a burn.

 

pics?

 

 

IrishPete is gonna -1 me for sure!

Here is a video of it

I had a casing land on my neck and STICK. That one took skin when I flicked it off.

 

I now always wear a hooded sweatshirt at the range.

Whoa, 1996.

Whoa, 1996.

 

Seems like yesterday!

Seems like yesterday!

 

Not to me, I don't even remember it.

After being at the bullet hole a few dozen times it shocks me this hasn't happened sooner. Seriously there are some real yahoos that go there. Can't wait for my tax return so I can get a membership at cherry ridge.
