I am a dork!
I was out tonight in a buddy's field stalking a nervous groundhog with my new Marlin 25 mn .22 Mag. Well, I was within about 80 yards and took a knee, got the critter in the crosshairs, flipped off the safety, and pulled the trigger.
Well..... at least I tried to pull the trigger. I pulled the safety toward me and as we all know, the safety on this Marlin flips off by pushing FOREWARD! Needless to say, I missed my shot, and the little punk never came out again.
So later I am going to take a
sighting in/plinking shot, and pulled the trigger and... CLICK! I never had a round in the chamber in the first place, the bolt never picked one up, I probably short stroked.
The moral of this long winded story is: PRACTICE,PRACTICE,PRACTICE!
Anyone else have dork stories? I don't want to feel alone.
