I took one of my buddies to shoot skeet 2 weeks ago and he rented a gun at the place. The very first time he was shooting doubles, the gun misfires on him and shoots both shells. He got thrown into the wall. It was so funny!!! You guys shoulda seen the look on his face when he got thrown back.Just so you know he's okay and loves shooting now. Hehehehe

I hate to be party pooper, but that isn't that funny. I mean what if that had been you the first time you shot skeet. I feel for your friend i've been there before. You might want to have that gun checked out too.SCGBrowning, The best there is because second best is well .....second best

 

[pmmx]

Oh please. It's not like I laughed as soon as it happened. It wouldn't have been as funny if he didn't get up and say "Woah, That felt good." FYI. I checked the gun after that happened. "It's better to take you son hunting than to go hunting for your son."

count himself lucky, he could have sustained injury from backblast debris or unexpected recoil effects like torn ligaments or muscles

I never knew it could end up so bad. I only laughed because he wasn't hurt.

It wasn't a misfire it called doubling!! Differently get the gun checked. Gets your attention though doesn't it! Dave:rollin

I've had that happen, it was loaded with heavy hunting loads too :x , I thought I'd blown it up until I opened the gun.came out with a big bruise and sore shoulder, only used light load's for a week :\ .

I got a brand new Weather Orion SSC last summer and on my second shooting session with it, it doubled. I sent it in and it had a cracked firing pin. COuld be a source of the problem.

Back in the 60's when the Japanese Charles Daly's first came on the market, or at least when I first became aware of them, I bought a standard grade 12 ***** O/U. Beautiful gun. About the second time out it started either doubling or not firing the second barrel at all. I sent it back five times and they never managed to fix the problem. I was fortunate that I'd purchased it from a reputable dealer who agreed to refund my money. I was also fortunate that I almost always shot dove loads but it still got your attention when it doubled!

Years ago I had an old Ithaca double with 2 triggers. Being new at it I put one finger on each trigger. Not smart, not fun, never did it again.

I got to admit if it were one of my friends after we saw that everything was OK we would have laid down on the ground and rolled. Some view things in a different way...thats why each person selects his friends to match his own personality.

HAHA so true!

While we all would like to blame the gun for doubling its been known since the late 1800's that the shooter is the fault more oft than the gun.This was finally confirmed when slow motion photography became availble.
