Stupid DQ...

[dwalker]

Yeap I DQed at the Sac Valley Memorial day 3-gun, and here is how..

Thanks for sharing, good advice - I will be sure and practice at home as if the barrel was hot from now on. And also pack an extra set of underwear to the range

[UP2MTNS]

ahh, that sucks. I probably would have crapped myself if my shotgun went off like that though...at least you kept some dignity

[dwalker]

Yeah sucks, but at least i did not drop the shotgun.

For those of us that can't play the video on our phones can we get a brief summery?

OP was using borrowed shell carriers that required him to load strong hand, which is his less preferred and least used method. OP grabbed a handful of hot barrel on his shotgun with weak hand when he went to reload, getting burned and then trying to quickly shift his grip somehow got a finger in the trigger guard causing AD.

Moral of the story is plan for a hot barrel when you practice reloading at home, and work out a technique that wont burn you. And of course always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction, which OP did. The round discharged into the ground 5 to 10 feet downrange.

Yep, concisely put. I started out strong hand loading and did that for a couple of years but I just do not practice it as often as I should. and when I have practiced its apparent I was getting sloppy with the weak hand grip.

Thank you, I have never done any competitions. This is good knowledge though for home defense.

THX for sharing.

For future ref. Don't have the windows down -or- have the camera too close to the air vent. Too much wind noise. : )

Glad you didn't do this on my stage. I may have needed a new pair of underwear.

I was the CRO on stage 1. I don't think I recognize you so you must not have made it to my stage.

[dwalker]

I shot stage 5, 1, and DQ'ed on 2

[MarikinaMan]

I used to load strong hand. Wore a glove MJ style for the hot barrel.

Too bad about the DQ, but ND is some serius ****. Did the gun fly off your hands?

Nope, I had just gotten the right grip on the front of it and had a death grip on the buttstock, albiet with a finger on the bangswitch.

Oops... sorry. I am really bad with names and apparently faces.

Stage 2 was a bear.
