Well guys, it is a warm spring day here in the west but too windy to shoot outdoors. Wind speeds hit 25 mph and stayed here all day. I was itching to shoot and decided to shoot from my bedroom at a fry pan screwed to my fence 30 yds. away. I opened the slider a few inches and started banging the pan. All was fun for about a dozen shots 'till an HN .22 pellet went way wide of the pan.???? OH CRAP!! , nicked the door moulding a bit. Gotta get this fixed before my wife sees it.

I made a quick trip down to my basement shop for some supplies. I used RTV white silicone bathroom caulk, came out great.....like it never happened...almost. Hope she does not see the blue tape while it cures. Be careful when shooting from indoors.

Ok Ok I have to admit I double loaded my mrod bullpup one pellet hit low into the 30 gal. steel drum that the target was on , the other one blew thur my plastic sawhorse leg laying against my shop cupboard door then through it ( 3/8) plywood & wound up into a new bag of fertilizer. My wife was in the living room & heard it---so the moral to the story is do you really think your going to away with it ( LOL ) GOOD LUCK Darell P.S sorry still LMAO

I'll guess nobody here has ever seen or heard of a "Crease" on a truck hood or cab roof?

OUCH buddy I feel your pain.

Ha!

Taught firearms on PD ranges for most of my 26 years. Spotlights, doorposts, hoods, trunks, mufflers (inverted under the car) taillights...the list goes on. 
The poor tower window from the run and gun, we wont even discuss beyond the red lines in the shoot house, yet I digress, as these were all powder guns and we were supposed to be "professionals". 👋

I am very glad to see the rtv fixed it up real nice. Well Played.

When I first got my Beeman R10 in 1990 I decided to see how accurate this thing really was. The field I frequented for shooting at targets had casings of shotgun shells, handguns, and rifle from other shooters that came to this area. Well, I found an un fired 44 mag cartridge, and I stupidly wedged it in a tree knot 30 yards away, and lay on the hood of my Ford ranger and aimed at the primer. Oh, man, I not only scared the crap out of me when it went off, but I ended up with a cracked windshield from the case coming backwards and slamming onto my windshield. Not good!! 

The latest one was me showing off my new PRod to my son last August, and I wanted to show my son how quiet it was when fired. So, scopeless as it was brand new out of the box, I shot from the hip towards our front lawn, and the pellet hit one of my wife’s hanging hurricane lanterns that she likes to put candles in. Shattered the glass in two sections of the lantern. To this day she hasn’t noticed, yet. Gotta get that fixed!

In a flash, I went from hero to zero in my sons eyes, lol

I feel your pain. There is only one instance in which I am glad that my fiance was hearing-impaired. I was tinkering one night while she was sleeping on the couch and I had a ND, launched a pellet into our NEW couch that was adjacent to the one she was laying on. She didn't wake up, but I certainly heard it (and hoped the neighbor did not). Luckily the wood in the leg rest stopped the pellet. She woke up to me putting the super glue away after I mended the hole in the fabric, I never told her about it 😉
