Negligent Discharge
September 30th, 2009 by Justin Buist

Hey guys, it’s Justin. Thought I’d take a moment here to let everybody on the team know I had my first, and hopefully last, negligent discharge tonight.

On my last line of trap and on the very first bird I shouldered the gun, placed a finger on the trigger, called for a bird, and as soon as the word “PULL” left my mouth I unintentionally discharged my shotgun. I think the cold weather helped numb my trigger finger a bit, but that’s no excuse. It still shouldn’t have happened.

    Just bring a hammer with you next time. Smash finger between cement and head of hammer. You will fell pain at first so do this about a half hour before you shoot.
    The pain with leave and your finger will be numb enableing you to not jump the trigger. This worked in
    the Marines, you can bite it if you forget the hammer.
    Just my 2 cents.
