Ouch, remember the safety catch lads.


Recommended Posts


I was around 14 years old,spent my salmon money and paper-round cash on a single shot pedretti .410 beautiful little gun,got it from a guy in southwick for £20,bought a box of cartridges from Millers gunshop in sunderland,this was it,the f***ing bigtime,i didn't have a licence but I never thought of the consequences back then.Had it a few weeks,quite a few roosting pheasants and ducks sitting on the river that had flighted out of Washington wildfowl reserve,got a couple of bunnies on the lamp.I was cleaning it in my bedroom,stuck a cartridge in for whatever reason a 14 year old does things without thinking BANG ? three inches from my foot and through the floorboards ? my ears were ringing and I was quite shocked (understatement),no-one was in the house,my bedroom looked like a tip anyway,i pulled the rug further across the bedroom over the carpet and was always super,super wary after that ?

Did that with a .22 air rifle when I was a kid,my mate was holding it in my defense.

I know a lad that did it with a 12 gauge while sat in a hide waiting on pigeons took the ends of his toes off lucky it wasn't worse. Also incase any of you do similar don't mention guns as the ambulance won't come till plods there
