It was not my intent to cause a train derailment. It just happened. Early on in my journey through CAS I stood in anticipation of the upcoming stage. Trying to remember it all, as I recited the quote to get this party started. Rifle went well, then the transition to shotgun and well here it goes... Fired two and broke it open for a swift and fluid reload, not so. Empties hit the ground and one made it in the chamber and the other fell onto the window ledge and bounced. On the bounce into the air I caught the live shell in flight to Mother Earth, chambered it and fired away. Quickly transitioning to pistols I was feeling pretty good about the stage. Then the discussions commenced, it was a dropped round and you can't count it and is it a stage DQ? But he caught it, it never hit the ground! Not knowing what the heck to say or do I witnessed rule books appearing, experts testifying and the stage came to a screeching halt. I brought the discussion to a close buy simply saying, I'll take the safety please.....
Immediately following my safety the next shooter ejected a hot shell casing into her cleavage and well, we will let her share that story.
