Poor girl

Kind of funny yet disturbing.

What I can't help wondering is why the guy filming did not warn her since you can see it coming when you look at her stance. I wonder if the guy just let it happen to get a laugh at her.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

Some friends and I, including the 5'-0" 110 lb female DZO, were doing some fun target shooting with a variety of guns at the DZ on a cloudy day. We were taking turns with a shotgun, not sure exactly what kind, but it had a helluva kick. We were in the woods... Anyway, the DZO was the last one to try shooting it, I had a feeling that I knew what was going to happen when she shot it and I stood about 3 feet behind her.

BLAM!!! She comes flying back right into my arms and I caught her. We all were laughing our asses off...

I don't know about you, but someone keeping on firing a shotgun while falling over scares me, so many things could have gone wrong. Yup, definately disturbing.

Geez, look at her body position before she even pulled the trigger, she didn't have a chance of staying on her feet, somebody should have corrected that!

Wow. That has more recoil than a BB gun..

But does it have a lazer and a blue light?

I remember the first time I shot rifle. I was warned about the kickback and was told how to stand. I was able to hold my stance but got a HUGE bruise on my shoulder/upper arm. BUT it was so worth it!!

Yup. If I was the cameraman I would have been looking for cover.

The most dangerous weapon I've ever handled is a bow & arrow, and was told how to stand. I was able to hit the bullseye but got a huge welt on my left forearm.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I thought girls just threw rocks . . .

Why does that sound like fun?

Glad you liked it. Next time, hold it tighter to your shoulder (not arm) and you shouldn't get a bruise.
I hate ass-hat guys that give big guns to little women with no proper instruction. I guess it makes them feel cooool to scare/bruise/humiliate the women. Vskydiver and I taught all of our kids, including 3 daughters, how to shoot properly and safely. I think gun safety is something every kid should know.

I laugh when guys who don't my wife well hand her some firearm, expecting her to screw up or get scared. She usually outshoots the guy . . .

[SkydiveStMarys 0]

Oooh they did tell me to hold on tight and where to position on my shoulder, but I just wasn't expecting it, you know?

I'm not small in height but I am small when it comes to weight.... This was a big double barrelled shot gun..it was way cool!

I love that.
I don't know why but it's fun and brings out my side when on rare occasion we decide to play pool, and a couple of guys will want to play. Billy will ask if they want to play doubles (me & Billy against them).

He laughs when I clean the table.

My father was a bachelor for a few years and bought a pool table among other things for a party room. I played him a lot growing up (and he's quite good).

There's this one pretty nice beach front club where I can get all the balls I want at an hourly rate.
