I'm sure a lot of you guys who don't hold a high opinion of me saw this coming, but I had my first ND today. Fortunately, it was with an air rifle and the pellet didn't hit anything fragile. Good thing I had a jacket lying on the sofa or it might have gotten ripped up real good. Completely took me by surprise, but now I'm going to be more careful. I should like jump in the air, do a DOUBLE flip in mid air and kick myself in the butt. If I fail, at least I'll have fallen on my butt, which would be the equivalent of getting my butt kicked. I was pumping the air rifle when I decided to make the rifle safe, which basically means opening up the pump of the air rifle and pulling the trigger so the bb round comes out without any pressure behind it, safely rolling out of the barrel. But somehow, the pump wasn't pulled back all the way and it went off. :banghead: I'm in the ND club now I guess.
