Thread: head games

lol I went hunting with my stepfather when I was 14 and he gave me a shot with a 12G side by side. Of course he never said how to stand or to pull it in hard against my shoulder, so standing with my feet spread I pointed the gun out the front and pulled both triggers. Went flat on my back and had a bruise on my shoulder for 6 weeks. Put me off shotguns for decades.

I let rip with both barrels and have never forgotten it.
