BANG!........ah CRAP. :eek: Performed quite nicely. I had a hole roughly the size of a nickle with meat hanging out the bottom of my shoe. TG I didnt "aim" better and hit MAJOR bones. Just tore the living heck outa the base of my two smaller toes. I was younger, dumber.......two lessons learned.:( light bulbDO NOT set a factory trigger less than 1.5 lbs and light bulbDO NOT point anything loaded at ANYTHING living.......even by accident.
