Pluckit,
In my opinion you have demonstrated exactly why a person should not have it ****ed the hammer and set the trigger. Despite the fact that you had been using the gun for 25 years and were very familiar with it you had an accidental discharge. An accidental discharge is not haha funny like dryballing or forgetting a primer. I don't know why you are so darn defensive everytime somebody has a better idea. If you miss a deer that is not a big deal at all, if you have an accident that is huge.
