Scary moment at the Nanaimo F&G club

[Zanelike]

A scary moment for a few of the guys shooting skeet yesterday. Sounds like perhaps a double-charged handload caused this. Luckily it doesn't look like anyone was seriously injured.

Wow! That sure peeled back the barrels!

 

[davemccarthy707]

That right there is the reason I don't reload. I do not trust myself. I am glad everyone is basically OK.

 

[5440fight]

Wow. I've seen footage of a lot like this lately. PROVE, and pay attention. Glad everyone is in one piece.

 

[Technology Direct]

Sweet Jesus! The barrel looks like a banana peel. Good to hear no serious injuries.

 

[ben hunchak]

What's the guys name on this site?

 

[superd222]

Wow - a reverse peel - lucky.......

I would bet barrel obstruction.....for sure.

I have had lots of double loads, and yeah, they are loud and they smack your shoulder but they generally dont blow up guns like that.

But if the one before was a dud and the wad was stuck in the barrel when the next round went off = extremely high pressure....trouble for sure.

Lucky no serious wounds.

What make of shotgun is that? It sure did a number to it. Glad everyone is ok.

 

[TV-PressPass]

Gotta know your handloads. Yikes

 

[the spank]

That is a scary moment for sure.

 

[Soze75]

Holy smokes, that's some Elmer Fudd action there.

They should just close the place down so no one else gets hurt and the police should just take all the guns away...

Ammo malfunction. Nothing Established, repeat the pair.

Agree on barrel obstruction or wrong powder. Never had any double loads in shotgun since they normally won't crimp right and you pick up on it right at the loader.Plus the pressure is so low on 12ga target loads most modern guns would handle even a double load

I agree with you.
