Ace_of_Hearts Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Why is it that for the most part, shooters can blaze away all day and never get a scratch, yet the poor TO standing right behind him/her get smacked with all sizes of lead spatter. Why is that? This is a fun thread guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bramble Mountain Buzzard Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 It's the lead magnet inside the timer drawing the splatter back to the T.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Kraut Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hey, Ace, we all know YOU don't even have to be the TO to get poked full of lead remnants. You just seem to attract the stuff. Don't think I've ever been to a match where you were in attendance, that you didn't eventually start bleeding from taking shrapnel! Must be your magnetic personality.

Grizzly Dave Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I have gotten whacked the worst when I'm spotting. One match I took a 45 to the groin. So I handed off the rag and hid behind my cart. Cart wasn't big enough, next shooter I took one in the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shooting Bull Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sour Kraut touched on it, it's magnetism. Opposites attract. Since we're shooting lead, it's attracted to the gold that's in our hearts. Which leads to some majorly odd implications for Dave getting hit in the groin.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Stand behind fatter shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Stand behind fatter shooters. That was the WHY, we had Philly Slim(e), aka "Mongo", as our posse leader at GFBJL. We also used him for shade and as a wind 'break' too. Few if any, 'frag' issues when he was th T.O..........Nut'n could get past him LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakey Merlot Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 My Grandad would say it's because no good deed goes unpunished. I remember once, at a shoot somewhere, there was a lot of splatter from the shotgun KDs. There was a family on our posse with dad, mom and 3 young girls about ages 9 to 15 or so. They were getting hit a lot. Merlot told them to stand behind me so they did for the rest of the match unless I was shooting. Us bigger fellers sure do make good barriers. They all gave me a hug when the match was over. Sometimes liking food pays off. Shakey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivory Jack, #8534 LTG Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 It's the lead magnet inside the timer drawing the splatter back to the T.O. That's the best hypothesis I've ever heard! Remind me to pass the timer off more often! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
