Anyone ever been shot?

Been shot? phhhh...whatever.
<<Had kidney stone...



I'm joking (a bit). But if anybody has had both, let me know how they compare. I'm curious.

Tex Grebner would know. All in all he handled it very well.

Yeah but Tex Grebner was actually training, the guy in the classroom was trying to be extra safe.

My youngest brother managed to shoot himself with one of my compact 9mm's. A Winchester Silvertip went through the meat of his palm. Literally took a half-round chunk out of the meaty part of his hand. I took him to the emergency room myself. He has never really had much interest in my handguns since.
I managed to get grazed at a range twice. First time a piece of shrapnel from a big-bore revolver- I think .44Mag- cut a slice in my right ear. Second time was a .38Spl that ricocheted off a rock and into my ankle. Had a hell of a bruise, would have been worse if I wasnt wearing decent leather boots. The fellow who took the shot "didnt realize we were still downrange" and "was aiming in a safe direction." My ass.

My uncle shot his brother in the back with rock salt in a drunken argument. That was an interesting weekend...

I stabbed myself in the leg with a broadhead.. I was chasing a woodchuck and had a second arrow pointing down for a backup arrow.. I brought that arm down as I brought my leg up and the 2 blade broadhead into my calf.. All it did was start tingling.. And got really warm.. When I tried to take my next step I fell.. I knew exactly what happened.. I looked at my pant leg saw the hole, pulled up my pant leg and saw blood pumping from my calf.

i was in the middle of nowhere so I took my sweaty bandana off my head and tied it tightly over the wound and hobbled to the closest house.. It hurt a little bit on the way to the neighbors house (1/4 mile away) but hurt most when I got to the ER and they were cleaning the wound.

i did however loose lots of blood and was really light headed. The neighbor asked what I wanted and I just said a cold cup of water and call my dad to come get me. He said my face was pure white...

So I didn't get shot per se but it was still a crappy situation but it was nice to know the ER nurses were impressed I knew what to do since I was in 8th grade..

moral of the story was of course don't run with arrows.. I don't know how many times I was told that and I'm pretty sure that's what kept me from thinking about how much it hurt. I knew my mom was going to be pissed and might not let me ever hunt again haha..

I've never been shot but i have been told it is like getting hit hard with a hammer without any pain for about a minute or two then the wound starts to burn like it is on fire then comes excruciating pain a few minutes after that.
