stevebeilgard Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 we use to shoot each other with bb guns when we were younger, my bro shot me with .22 birdshot once didnt even penetrate my jeans though my brothers & i would do the same, hunt each other in the woods of northern wisconsin. i've been shot at twice. never hit. . thank you lord. if you ever hear someone crack a bullwhip behind you, you've been shot at and missed.... if you don't hear it, you've been killed. .

Rhino Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Been peppered a couple of times too dove hunting. The worst experience I've had though was when I was deer hunting in the woods about 50 yards from a crop field on a place I used to hunt in Louisiana. There must have been some deer in the field because some idiot decided to shoot at them from a road ~500 yards from the edge of the woods I was hunting in. All I could do was hug the backside of the tree while I heard bullets buzz by me that I guess had skipped off the ground. The idiot unloaded, reloaded and unloaded again. I never checked to see if he hit anything but fortunately he missed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Been shot with BB guns a lot as a kid. Have been shot at twice on separate occasions (intentionally), but never hit. Both guys were arrested. Have had my house shot, and have had the passenger in a stolen vehicle point a shotgun at me from the rear window of an older model full size Blazer during a pursuit. He never got a shot off though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 It is a little amazing to see how many people that have had the opportunity to taste lead. Personally, I have a bullet from a .22 short lodged against the bone in the back of my thigh. I have also been hit in the shoulder by a buckshot pellet which did not penetrate my coat but it left a nice welt. Have also been "rained" on by shot from other waterfowl hunters. I guess my question to those who have been shot would be; Were you friends or an acquaintance of the person who shot you? The bullet in my leg came from someone that I thought was a friend (he thought it would just sting a little). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I've been shot with pepperball and a taser but, I have no plans on getting shot with anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 My buddy got shot in the shoulder by his own cousin because his cousin was a spoiled little city kid and my buddy told him to give him the gun so he could shoot a turtle on a log. Shot him at point blank range in the shoulder. He was aiming for his face. He has a scar that looks like a foot trying to kick it's way out. Funny scar but could have been much worse.

WIwhitetailhunter Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I took a richochet to my right thumb back in 1986 while I was spending time in Central/South America. The bullet hit the slide on the 9mm I was carrying in my right hand and went into my thumb. Have a scar to remind me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasDeerHunter Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Only been shot once with a BB gun, twice with a nail gun and stabbed in the face by a drugged out idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I guess my question to those who have been shot would be; Were you friends or an acquaintance of the person who shot you? In my case it's a guy I teach with, and still do to this day. He shot me the first year he and I taught together. He's still a friend, I'm sure he didn't mean to shoot me, in fact, he didn't believe it when I said he did, I had to show him the holes. Ohiobucks knows who I'm talking about, this guy just gets too excited about game, and he loses his head from time to time. The nail gun reminded me of another time I was shot. Framing a wall towards the end of the day and my buddy and I were trying to get done so we could get home and grill some brats. I was running studs and laying them out, and was grabbing the plate and shooting it off, and he missed just as I was walking past with another load of studs. Funny thing was, the nail went in head first, not point first. I still have the half moon scar in my calf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Know a guy whose framing crew thought it would be MUCH FASTER to duct tape the trigger down on the nail gun so all they'd have to do is just bump it on the boards to nail it. Well, come lunch time...the guy with the nail gun just lays it down on the steps of his ladder. His friend backs up without knowing and hits his head on the gun. BAM! Right into his skull. Rushed him to the ER. I never heard if he lived or died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Been shot with bb guns a few times on purpose. Yeah, kids are stupid. I did nail myself to some roof decking once with a staple gun. Never got in that big of a hurry nailing down decking after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybronco Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I was a framer for the better part of 12 years seen alot of accidents with nail guns but I only shot myself once when a gun was froze up in the winter got a little sticky on me that happens though. However I had a close call working way up in the air one time that probably would have cost me my life apparently my number wasn't up yet. And yet on another occasion when I was 9 a cranky old man shot me with his 12 gauge full on with rock salt. He was upset because I was helping myself to his cherries in the orchard didn't think it was that big of a deal was just hungry coming home from crawdading down at the creek.
