i think my biggest mistake was slingin' it with only one safety on...i should have also been checking the gun to make sure nothing was wrong...i screwed up...since i didn't have to use it i assumed nothing got bumped or became loose.
i walked by the spot it happened on my last two hunts (this happened on friday) and could see the spot where i landed...i just stood there and thanked God a hundred times over...all the what if's came to mind...very upsetting and scarey.
all in all i'm glad it happened...i have a small bruise on my arm where the gun hit it but i'm beyond thankful to have been taught this lesson...a lot of people in similar situations aren't so lucky.
thanks for being supportive instead of judgemental and evil.
