Anyone who has read my reloading posts knows I shoot a lot of 44 mag from a Ruger Redhawk.
At my club's pistol range we have a shelter with a roof but no walls to shoot from. One day, I touched off the first shot from the gun and was cocking the hammer for the second shot, when something falling slowly from the roof of the shelter caught my eye. At that time I thought it was a leaf. I decocked the gun and looked down at the floor and saw a dark spot on the ground not moving. All of a sudden, it started to spin on the ground faster and faster and then took of like a shot. It was a bat. It had decided to spend the day in the roof, but the concussion from the first shot had stunned it and it fell. And they say no one has ever been hurt by a miss.
Anyone else have an amusing shooting story?
