[QUOTE="FrankNmac, post: 3502565, member: 41074"] About 30 years ago I had a friend who had access to field acreage where there were lots of rabbits running around. One of us would slowly drive the truck and the others would shoot the flushed rabbits from the pickup bed with our .22 rifles. I was on the right side of one of the guys one time and we were blasting away at a group of rabbits. I was somehow right in the ejection pattern of the shells from his semi-automatic .22 and they started hitting my [U]face[/U] cheek (saved you the trouble of asking why we shot nude!), sunglasses, and one even dropped down behind my glasses and stuck against the top of my left cheek and bottom of my glasses. I dropped my rifle and tore my glasses off to try and stop the pain. The shell dropped but left a burn mark where it had stayed for a bit. That reminded me to never be to the right side of another shooter to this very day. When we do some paired security drills at the gun range with our semi-automatic pistols I always make sure I am on the far left so I don't get any more hot brass beauty marks. [/QUOTE]
