Weren't the Creedmoor shooting matches named so because of wherethey were shot and thus any position they used called that because of where it was held. That was at Creed Farm on Long Island in NY? (The spot is now in Queens, NY which is part of NYC and while geographically on Long Island it is not considered Long Island by New Yorkers, especially Long Islanders who want no part of NYC.) So wasn't the position called Creedmoor because of that. Of course, I jusr realized I missed yer pernt!OK, it's off topic but I don't care.
It always bugged the ever-lovin' shit out of me that Creedmoor was named Creedmoor. The actual, historic Creedmoor rifle matches from the 1870s were shot from positions that were more like (sometimes exactly like) Dead Frog.
If history and logic prevailed -
- Dead Frog would be named Creedmoor,
- Creedmoor would be named Sidewinder, and
- Sidewinder would be named "I want to shoot my toe off!"
He did that to cauterize the wound to stop it bleeding. I ripped off a big wart on my leg and it wouldn't stop bleeding, so I took my trusty soldering iron wiped off most of the melted solder and applied the sort -of clean tip to the hole where the wart roots had been and it stopped bleeding.I watched John Wayne get shot in the shoulder by an arrow. He pulled the arrow out, bit the bullet off a cartridge, poured the power in the wound and lit it. If John Wayne can do that so can I. Took a 22 LR bullet off and poured the powder in a little spot on the back of my hand that wouldn't heal, lit a match to it.
It burned for a loooooong time!
John Wayne was a greater man than I would ever be, just sayin'

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.I keep buying glocks
Yes.Weren't the Creedmoor shooting matches named so because of wherethey were shot
No.thus any position they used called that because of where it was held.
That's all right. You gave me an excuse to write a bunch of words about stuff I haven't done since my back decided to tell me to get on a fast horse and ride straight to Hades. I like remembering those days.I jusr realized I missed yer pernt!
I had a similar thing happen with my Sig P232. I was cleaning it, put the slide back on and and it slipped out of my hand shooting the slide and spring across the room. The spring was bent enough from the impact with the wall that I had to order a new one. Not my proudest moment.Reassembling a 1911 in the garage with oily hands. Somehow the recoil spring plug slipped in my hand and the spring shot it across the garage. I found it 2 years later.
Years ago when I first got my Ruger Mark III, I was so excited about putting some rounds through it that I wasn't thinking quite as clearly as I should have been. For some reason, I used a revolver style grip on it. I only made that mistake once. The first round took a pretty good chunk off my thumb's knuckle.
Edit: just started reading through the thread. I'm kinda happy to see I'm not the only one who's done this, LMAO!

When working I had a route that I ran at least once a week on my way home. Pawn shops.No one has really done anything stupid themselves huh? Interesting. Lol
This was not a "did something stupid" but rather a rite of passage for anyone who ever wore olive drab fatigues in mid-20th century.Garand thumb. It’s not like I did not know what I was doing, but I got cocky and did not take my time. After a minute of screaming like a little girl I vowed never again. That was about 25 years ago And it hasn’t happened since.
