I guess I don't understand the "need" to rest your muzzle on you foot. Why not the butt? Does it make you look cool or something?
Yeah...until recently, that's the way they TAUGHT trap students to rest an open action/unloaded trap gun.The ONLY way I EVER rest my shotgun on my foot is unloaded and with the action open. If there's something in the chamber, it's going to be pointed at the ground or at the sky.
Several skeet/trap shooters do this, and I believe it's perfectly safe as long as you aren't an idiot.
Then you could probably look through his head from his chin out the top as well as the normal "in one ear and out the other".
P.S.Yeah...until recently, that's the way they TAUGHT trap students to rest an open action/unloaded trap gun.
I've noticed that the scouts now have these little square rubber pads that are magnetic...they rest the muzzle on that square and it "sticks" so they take it from station to station. Then when their turn is up, they step on the corner and pull the muzzle off while holding the square down. Much safer.
I wasn't suggesting he point the muzzle toward his head, there are a lot of other places to point it "up". But not pointing it at your own foot isn't possible if you have the muzzle actually sitting on your foot. Seems like common sense to me.
