Just a reminder, never hurts... coworker was put in cardiac ICU when hit by a 177 pellet by the ear by a good air rifle. Downward facing shot, it chipped her jaw bone and came to a rest between the base of her skull and neck bone near the windpipe. Quite simply, hubby was in trigger pull when she stepped into line of fire. Well, she is back now and we are much relieved. Sooo... just remember it can happen to anyone. When I am taking a dicy shot, I use a spotter. Helps keep traffic from entering the sight picture.

Thank God that wasn't an arrow. She wouldn't be alive today.

An arrow would have been sticking out of her mouth. Painful, unsightly, but not lethal with bow or pellet gun.

Just curious what the situation was? How would the woman not be seen coming into the shot?

yea u got 2 watch out for them pellet guns. i was hit like 20 times w/ a crosman 760 wen me and my friend wer heving a pellet gun fight. and i blew the sight off of his gun. it hurts. it wen through like 3 layres of clothigng and made me bleed. BUT I HAD FUN!

Colorado...arent you the guy that is shooting half inch groups at 200YDS with your 22lr. Maybe one of those pellets hit you in the melon and you just imagiined it. Well I guess he's only foolin himself.

Ouch.
