Things like this always seem to happen when you don't want them. Hope you have better luck next time.
I can remember the time I was hunting with a Renegade and had a doe walk in. I pulled the hammer back, set the trigger, took a bead on her and pulled the trigger and nothing.. not even a snap of a cap. Looked down and no #11 cap on the nipple. Must have fell off or I forgot to cap the rifle. But now the doe had me locked in her sight. And as slow as I moved to try and reach my capper.. her front foot started stomping, tail started twitching, and I knew I was busted.. But it sure made my heart race, and its funny but I remember that incident with rather fond memories.
