When we'd smash or cut our fingers, we'd grab the electrical tape and bind that devil up. I had a friend that carried electrical tape with him almost all the time. Cutting a finger is a terrible thing. I am always cutting them for one reason or another. I hate that. Worse part is, I will be doing something in the shop and never even notice the cut until I come in the house and wash my hands or something. Another real eye opener is when you isopropyl alcohol swab your barrel and find out you have a cut in one of the finger joints when that alcohol hits....

Just shoot your rifle with the second finger. I have sure done that enough. Or wait and heal up.
