What was your worst/ most embarrassing failure to fire? it does not necessarily have to be mechanical or in a serious situation.
ex. This last weekend I stalked a herd or pronghorn with my father in Wyoming. We had just driven 18 hours to get there. I had already filled my tag on my buck but still needed a doe. We crept for about two hours after the herd which included a large buck for my father to shoot. Just as we crest the final hill we line up our shots with the animals we had selected. He shoots and kills the buck, but all I end up with is the loud click of a dry fire.
when I loaded the clip of 30-06 into my Savage 114 I didn't push it all the way in :banghead: so when i closed the bolt I never loaded a round into the chamber.
I got to walk for another two hours because of that
