This is another reminder for me to train myself even more to check the bores before loading each time. I attempt it, but do not have it "down pat", and often just drop in two more loads without checking the barrels for daylight at the muzzles.

I discussed this with a member of my weekend skeet group. He shoots an O/U; I only shoot the side-by-sides these days. We both agreed that we check the bores between shots frequently but fail to do so very time.

Is this not a good argument for the inherent safety of a break-open gun, especially if you are reloading your own shells?

Glad to hear that our fellow PGCA member has had some successful treatment.

His name may be unknown to me, I will continue to pray for continued progress with his recovery.
