So there I am bored and figured I'd pop a chemlite at 30 yards at night. Easy shot in theory. So I set up in the sniper den. Set up the tripod, get out the gamo hunter and let a few rounds go. And all misses. That's not right. I don't miss. So I break out the 350 and let 1 go didn't sound right. Missed. Let another go and get a ricochette! Stopped secured everything and turned onthe lights and sure as poop I shot the window sill! All 4 rounds! My scope cleared the sill but obviously not the barrel. I'm in trouble.

I got a little patch work to do before the old lady gets home. Lol thank god for wood putty.

Welcome to the club, did similar when sniping for bushy tail doing cover digging in my backyard. Bugger was posing for the shot and using my backyard sniping AG and when I pulled the trigger...heard a loud twack and got me surpirsed and thinking my gadget broke giving that not so friendly sound. Bushy tail scampered and I had to think fast on how I would fix the damage on my window's metal lip that I shot. Scope was cleared but not the barrel, o well..things we do as grown up!

Mental note to self for next time ... "open the window first".

I feel for ya... couple years ago I posted about shooting out the very clean sliding glass patio door that I thought was open. I think your repair will be cheaper...

I have a dent in the back of my chronograph from looking through the scope to fire a pellet.  I wonder how many have done that one?  I learned my lesson and just hold the barrel near the sensor.

I know the feeling.

Your not alone !!!    

First pic is the hinge gap of my kitchen storm door. Left half- moon notch was a clean miss at a Squirrel's head. The right hand half-moon notch I thought was a miss also,....  until I looked up in the tree and saw a very mad Squirrel looking down at me while  rubbing his right ear. The pellet clipped it instead of between the eyes. After two of those I learned to center the muzzel in the gap before looking through the scope !!  

Next pic is the back side of my F-1 ShootingChrony. Again, two hits  before I learned to lower the tripod a bit !!!!

I had a good friend over and we were shooting in my back yard. I had a few bird decoys out in the bushes and trees. And my good friend thought he saw an easy shot and plugged one of my decoys.. hehehehehe

Gene, - that reminds me of a time back in the Stone Age when I was duck hunting with a friend. It was early morning, still dark, and we put out a number of HIS decoys. We were waiting in this huge marsh for sunrise, couldn't hunt before that. We both had rather large hangovers at the time. - Before you know it, a little sunlight appeared - never knew that marsh already had about 5000 duck hunters in it. It sounded like WWIII had just started in that marsh, - my Gawd what noise. Not to let anything get away, - I stood up and plugged three of his decoys, - they didn't get away.

[Gene_SC]

LOL John, sounds like something I would of done also back in the stone age...

I'm guilty of killing Gene's Dove decoy's hehe. It looked like it had just landed on a branch out in his yard, was the wind and I couldn't pass up a easy kill. The decoy took a direct hit oh that wasn't a real bird hehe. Ed
