Today I finally got a chance to go to the range and fire my new muzzleloader. Things were going well, I was loading powder, patch and ball, then cap and fire. Simple right? Yes... But you have to worry bout hand placement.
Now im a lefty, and my rifle is obviously for rightys.
So I load my ammo up, half cock and place the cap, the full cock, get grip, line up sight, and squeeze the trigger.
The gun fires, and suddenly my hand burns. Im like "What????" I look at my hand, and the spot just below thum and runs to wrist is a sooty black color.
It only takes a moment to realize that I had my hand underneath the percussion cap when I fired....
Feel free to laugh, I know I did when it happened.
