[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2613226, member: 17722"] It is from another club I am a member of, Temple Gun Club. "Members, yesterday (Sun 28 Aug) we had an Incident with Injury at the Range. A member apparently loaded the wrong caliber ammo into their rifle and upon firing caused a detonation and complete destruction of the rifle, traumatic amputation of the trigger finger, and damage to other fingers and hand. While this is a rare event, it can happen to the most experienced shooters. Safety dictates only 1 firearm and corresponding ammo at a firing point while shooting, and that if firing multiple calibers, take the time to inspect and ensure firearm and ammo are a match. Our prayers are with the member as he recovers from this incident. We wish to thank the members on scene that assisted and rendered immediate first aid, called 911, and escorted the BCSO and Ambulance to the location on the range. One of the members had a first aid kit and was able to use it to stop the bleeding and treat for shock until assistance arrived. We recommend everyone carry a first aid kit in their Range Bag or vehicle as a standard item of equipment on the range. We are grateful that these members had one with them.
