Thread: I wasn't seriously expecting to hit it.........Fluke shots.

The first post in this thread reminds me of when I was a kid, when I was finally allowed an air rifle I was allowed to keep it in my room but in keeping with safe firearms use etc I had to ask dad when I wanted to take it out and let him know where I was going etc. One day I see some birds out my window sitting on the washing line so I got my rifle and poked it out the window and took a shot at one which was now on the ground in front of the main washing line pole, missed the bird, hit the pole and the projectile came straight back, smashed my window and hit me in the neck. Loss of air rifle privileges for a while after that!

Sit that sucks Ryan.I can recall borrowing my old mans .22brno before I was 16 shooting rabbits possums etc.Cruising down the road to the run off and the bloody sling broke,hit the road and fucked the scope.Never told him what happened but it never shot anything till he got a new scope! I still got that Brno today
