i was shooting standing up....heh kinda made me stumble as i ddint think it gimmie a little nudge like that...hahaha

actually its funny that u mention that bronko....

3 years ago when i was in grade 10 i went turkey hunting for the first time with my single shot 12g 2 3/4 full shoke....ended up callin in a tom that weighed 20lbs, 10inch beard, 1 inch spurs...he was about 25 yards away walkin from left to right and im right handed so it was cool untilhe sprinted like 20ft to my right...so i didnt wanna risk changin shoulders as there was absolutly nuttin between me and him....so i decided id yelp a few times to get him to extend his head all the way and when he did i jerked over very fast and he didnt even move and i let em have it...

ended up gettin him but its a good thing i wacked him good cuz i had to sit for a few minutes cuz of the pain in my shoulder...i was shootin 1 5/8 loads...not heavy i guess but out of a 5lb gun they kick pretty good.

so...i ended up shootin him with my right shoulder pressed hard against the tree...boy oh boy did i eevr feel it....especially since that was the shoulder i injured in a rugby game 1 month be4...i cracked it in 3 places and there was a couple chips and i pulled almost all the muscles in it...doc said i shouldnt use it for 2 months....but hey gotta get that tom

went to the doctors the next day to get another x-ray and i ended up making the largest crack even bigger and to this day it still isnt healed fully...i can only throw a football as far as a typical female, can only take about 25 shots of the light ammo for shootin clays, guess its wrecked for the rest of my life....but ill have to get my arms chopped off be4 i stop huntin!!!!

peace
