Muscle Memory Causes Big OOPS!!!

Hey guys, watch out for this. [:-] I was shooting my Great Plains with the double set trigger for a number of shots. I had gottenused to putting the gun in the rabbit ear rest, then sitting down at the bench in shooting position and setting the trigger as I was beginning to take a sight picture. Then Iswitched over to my Zouave and I guess muscle memory took over. Guess what happens when you try to set the trigger on a gun that does not have a set trigger. Yep,unexpected boom. Anyway, the dang unplannedshot still hit the 8 1/2 x 11" target at 50 yards, much to my surprise.

That sounds like a good way to shoot on muscle memory alone, as long as you know which muscle you are going to be putting on which rifle.. At least you hit paper. That is the main thing. And no one was hurt..
