We do not allow gansta, upside down or other non-standard shooting holds either. We have enough trouble keeping people from destroying the equipment when the hold the gun properly.................;)

I have burn marks on my arm, forehead and chest from casings.

Actually, I heard out from some friends that the range I go to doesn't allow all those holds too. And they don't allow rapid fire. I didn't know this until much later.

However, I've not called the range to verify because I really want to continue to do rapid firing. It is an indoor range w/ a gun shop. There's an RO on the range, and he's not said anything to me... so I should just keep quiet.

I only do funny holds when I have a new gun that I wanted to use for SD. I've got to be sure it'll function in different situations.

I've had casings go down my shirt, but they 've not caused much
problems. Feels hot, but they come right out.

I've read people getting casings caught between their glasses and eye,
but I didn't think much of it until now. I've been shooting about 11yrs
and it happened yesterday.

Thought I'd share it here, since it's really funny and painful.
I've been shooting for a long time and have never had
anything "interesting" to share, until now.

I wasn't being very safe so no supprise that I got my first
injury on the range. I hear so many accidents, etc. but I've
never had any until now.

So today I went to the range to shoot the 200 round break in
on my new Kahr PM9. Since I kind of just decided to "waste"
these ammo, I started being creative on my holding positions
(indoor range), sideways, upside down, upside down w/ pinky
on the trigger, etc. Initially my justifications was to make sure
this gun won;t jam in any position. Lots of casings bouncing
around, on my head, on my shoulders.. kind of fun. Then a
HOT ejected casing got caught between my eyeglasses and
eye lid!! Ouch! and the embarrasment!!

Well, this is my first shoot injury and I figure I'll share it w/ you.
There is a ~1mm^2 piece of outer skin that got burned off on
my right eyelid.

I think the casing hit the lane divider (I was shooting at an
indoor range) and bounced behind my eyeglasses. After
that I was very, very mindful of where my ejection port was
aimed for the rest of the rounds.

BTW: The Kahr had lots of FTFeed (slide won't go completely
back into battery, I have to push it back) on the first 100
rounds. I thought I got a lemon. I then cleaned it. And on
the next 100 rounds (where I got my injury) it had no
failures. I shot 2 boxes on the cheapest ammo WWB range
ammo. I'll be testing it w/ carry ammo next.
