Shot my truck twice this weekend…
Yup I shot my brand new truck 2 times this weekend… 😆
first time I was shooting at a little bird that has been shitting all over my mower and sawmill…I stuck the gun out of the drivers window and took aim..little did I realize my barrel was pointing right at my side mirror, the scope was clear..you know how much distance there is between the barrel and the scope..well I shot and luckily it just grazed the edge of the plastic moulding.. 😆
Next I was shooting at a beer can about 30 yards away..I rested on the hood much like I do when I’m groundhog hunting..same deal..I had a clear shot in my scope but the barrel was pointing at my hood..now a have a pretty little white streak across my hood 😆 😆 I know i’m dumb..but just wondering how dumb am I??? 😆 😆
Glad none of you have ever done such..

I’ve shot 2 chronies twice each and the roof of my patio once…I
cocked my S10, tried to shoot and nothing…Pointed it straight up
and saw the safety was on…Pushed the safety to fire position
and shhpack…I don’t use the safety anymore.
I shot a chair in my neighbor’s basement “range” . I had my old RWS 350 and was shooting with it rested on one part of the forearm and the pellet hit the other forearm and blew feather stuffing everywhere. I thought I shot his parakeet for a second 😯
shot my brand new deck 3 times in a row laying prone and shooting at a target at a lower elevation that was in the garden, the worst part of it was I thought I was clipping slightly because it was still groping ok, just about 6 inches high 😳
Doorframe damage
Airtight, I was about to post my “been there, done that” ….. LOL
From about 6 inches away, that little old bitty pellet will turn your mirror glass into a fine powdery mess that’ll cut you all to shit as well as blast plumb through the Chrome metal housing the mirror is mounted into. Leaves a nice, splayed open with sharpened edges on the outside of the mirror housing as the pellet continues on about it’s travels….. 😆 😆 😆
Yep, shot the Chrony
Later
The last house I lived in had several grooves in a window sill.
Shooting pigions from my home office.
Shot Chrony.
No shooting around the cars
test
I do not shoot from my car anymore, so no worries for me LOL.
Seriously, I once creased the roof of my galaxy500, ripped the vinyl roof all the way across with a .340 Weatherby. I saw a coyote in a farm field, had permission to hunt there too but was on the way to my sight-in range with the new gun. I had it bore-sighted, and the yote was about 65 yards out. I stepped out, aimed across the roof and the yote started to trot towards me. Like a dumb-ass I kept tracking him in the scope till he stopped then I fired. That rip made the most annoying rumble when driving down the road.
I let my brother borrow my truck once when he took his son hunting antelope. He brought it back with a shattered mirror with an exit hole dead center. His son was shooting from the passenger side thru the drivers window, blew the mirror to hell and still killed the antelope which was only 25 yards off the side of the road. My brother was plugging his ears and got glass blown back into his left forearm. My nephew wasnt wearing anything and was nearly deaf for days.
So many things wrong with the above 2 tales, I dont know where to begin. Lets just say Im a bit more edumacated now. Cant really speak for my brother or nephew. 😉
Triggerman shot his side mirror same way… sorry Trig. 😆
