    I’ve done it, carefully !

    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    Yup done plenty, wear eye and ear protection and do it gently.
    I've never had one go off but if it did the above precautions would be plenty safe
