Very true. Another thing we used to do was to make a seal with our fists if that makes sense and blow a good lung full down the barrel. It lets you know the touch hole or nipple is clear and greatly softens the fouling. Most ranges forbid this due to a few cases of Darwinism at work. It is perfectly safe assuming the shooter is smart enough to not do this after a misfire. It only holds one shot.

I can't remember ever hearing of anyone blowing the back of their head off while blowing down a barrel. Some liberal pantywaist probably saw somebody doing it and had apoplexy. Just one more safety anal rule that makes me glad I don't have to go to a range.
