Range bags: the DANGER lurking in shooter's homes

#1

Post by n5wd »

Can anyone guess what happens when you're walking around barefoot in the living room, and your foot snags a range bag's strap between the pinky and the 4th phalanges, and the others, while you're cruising by, headed towards the kitchen?

Anyone?

Anyone?

Thursday night, I reaffirmed the scientific fact that a fairly large range bag with a fair amount of ammo and a couple of guns in it can easily be described as a non-moveable object, and is not bothered at all by the pressure exerted by the two littlest toes on someone's foot. X-rays by the PA confirmed my diagnosis yesterday.

I feel for you. I can personally confirm that USAF dormitory chairs have the same effect on the left foot and bathroom door facings provide an identical reaction on the right foot. :???:

Ouch, I got where I use a pilots pen light when I get up during the night to get a drink or go to the bath room. My feet are too sensitive to be banging them into anything if I can help it.

Spaced, taped, and wrapped with a compression bandage plus heat packs at night while the foot is elevated. Waiting on a frac boot from the Durable Medical Equipment supplier that contracts with our insurance.
