Could have been a lot worse, luckily, it was only minor.....brain fart, not paying attention, distracted, thinking about what I was going to do next instead of following a basic safety rule.....you never ever loose track of where your finger is while stapling a target to the cardboard backer. Sunk that 1/2" staple all the way into the end of my ring finger, thought I was snake bit, stung pretty good, bled even more, but that's what I get for not watching what I was doing

41 Mags rule, Baers rock!
Sure glad I'm not the only one.
Heck I stapled an old Deputy's finger...

right to the backer a few years ago. Bless his heart he was trying to help put targets up because we were qualifying 40 that day. I kept telling him to keep his booger hooks back... zap, squall, blood all over a brand new target.
You know I never got another Christmas card from that guy again? And that was after me helping him pull his finger off the target, too!
Some people.

Back about 25 years ago I was by myself on a friends property, shooting my Springfield 45. Decided I would practice one shot draws, slowing working on faster and faster draws. Then for some reason my left hand decided it wanted to go faster and farther out, waiting for the right to catch up, well the right hand didn't like that too much and pulled the trigger, launching the 230 FMJ between the ring and pinky fingers, left a black smudge mark on the side of the ring finger. I packed up and went home, no sense shooting anymore when the two hands would not work together.
