    You have heard the "becarefull, you'll shoot your eye out with that" Well, at the great age of 7 I got a Red Rider and was given the above advise. I was shoot'n in grannys backyard, at a coffe can and it kept falling over. I got an idea and filled the can with rocks. Next thing I knew, I saw the BB hit that can, and bounce back...... Hit me on the front tooth, before I could duck OOOOOOOh boy that brought tyears to my eyes....... I did'nt tell, because I remembered what happened after I shot my mom's backside with my double barrel cork gun the year before............

    I suppose I was just lucky, my first casting was with sinker molds at age 8, they come with aluminum handles, you just expect to have some kind of handles after that.

    I've practiced this sport, almost in a vaccum for 50 yrs. so I can identify with you. When you're self taught, there's a good chance there's a gap or two in your education. What I wouldn't have given to have had a mentor 40 yrs. ago. I sure do appreciate this site. Ron.D

    This ought to be a sticky.

    I reread Crash first post since someone brought this back to life, I think I laughed just as hard.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that has pulled a stunt like this.

    God Bless You Crash, you makes me smile.

    No but I learned to line the palm of the left glove with three layers of heavy aluminum foil and that helped a lot.

    Crash, it takes a brave soul to tell on himself. I read your story over a year ago and reread it today. Made me laugh out loud both times. Thanks for sharing.

    I was doing the same darn thing. It wasnt till I pondered your post that I did a little investigating. Burns are still healing.

    I learned at a very young age not to shoot tires from a car with a BB gun. Ouch...

    I started out with Lee two-cavity molds, so it was years before I learned that some molds came without handles attached.

    I shot myself in the head with my 44 remington cap and ball once.
    When I was a dumb kid of 18 or 19, I shot myself between the eyes with a 30-06!
    Someone had given me a couple rounds of old WWII AP ammo, and I thought I'd see what it'd do. I dug some pieces of 1/2" steel out of the scrap pile, lined up four of them behind the barn, and took a shot with the old Remington. Something thunked me in the forehead, and blood was running down my face all over.

    The core of that bullet had penetrated a solid inch of steel, but the copper jacket had peeled off like a banana, and bounced straight back to cut me up. The scar has faded over the years, but I still have that jacket around here somewhere, to remind me to not do dumb things.
