I was out shooting some hand thrown (sorta like a frisbee) clay birds with a friend from work one day, a long time ago.
It was my turn to shoot, I had my savage 940E single shot 12 ga. hi brass shells, don't remember the shot size, I was in the process of loading the gun when my friend said "SHOOT IT", and threw a bird, I slammed the gun closed and pulled it up and planted it firmly and squarely on my collar bone, pulled the trigger And missed the bird, but learned a very valuable lesson.
The ribbed plastic butt plate tore the bark off of my collar bone and I was bleeding like a stuck pig.
NOTE TO SELF: if you are going to do stupid stuff like that, wear more than a T-shirt.
