Re: day 2 incident

Yeah, I've had hot brass down my collar. Never stuck in my glasses though.

Was once burned on both elbows by hot .223 brass when shooting through a barrel in a match.
The only way to hit these particular targets was to lean way into the barrel and shoot through it. (Longways. It was on it's side with the top and bottom removed.) I had rested my elbows inside the barrel. One piece of brass bounced off the inside of the barrel and rolled down and rested against my elbow. I tried to ignore it because it's a timed course and I'm trying to shoot. Had a pretty good burn where it sat there. We ran this course twice. The second time I only rested one elbow, the one that had not been burned, in the barrel, same thing happened to that elbow. I had a little burn mark on each elbow for months.
