almost got shot - Page 2

What an idiot! Anybody with any sense knows not to shoot at water because of the chance of a bullet glancing off of the water and going God knows where. This, coupled with the fact of knowing people were in the area, is just inexcusable behavior. I'm just glad a tragedy didn't happen.

P.S. I had a close call of my own some years back while rabbit hunting with my best friend. We lost sight of each other and somehow I got ahead of him. He saw a rabbit and fired at it with his .22, and I heard the round whiz right past my ear! I promply hit the dirt and yelled at him. After that, we always made sure we kept in visual contact every few yards.
