Dude,

Anytime a round goes *pop*, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND CHECK THE BARREL!!!

It could have saved you a barrel, but more importantly, investigating a strange round can save your life and the guy next to you who might get ht with a chunk of barrel.

Sorry you had a mishap, but at least you can still see from both eyes..

My mistake was pulling the trigger on the second round too fist and not thinking the geese were 15 yards over head and i was focused on dropping one i know i should have stoped when i heard a pop but my fingers were working faster then my brain dumb move on my part thank GOD no one got hurt
