Went to the range today, good weather finally, and I was in a bit of a rush so I skipped breakfast. Was getting really good groups at 75 yards ... well I was loading my rifle when my mind drifted thinking about how great a Rally's burger with a Milkshake would taste. Don't know what happened next ... the rifle was falling, I push down on the rod (which was a canted angle), heard a snap, a crack as my rifle hit the cement, and thumb was hurting from being cut. :cursing:
As we use to say in the Army: A self inflicted sucking chest wound. No real damage done. I guess shooting is 90% mental; because after that little show I was pushing shots all over the paper. Checked the sights nothing wrong ... just ****** at myself. New rifle's first dings.

As far as the ding, think of it as a battle scar. In regards to your ramrod, a new hicory ramrod is relatively inexpensive. Just be happy that you or a bystander was'nt hurt!
