How NOT to hold a pistol-grip shotgun

Yeap, some people have to learn the hard way.

Dufus! If you want to shoot the shotgun from the shoulder get one with a stock!

ha ha stupid

Stocks don't seem to help much here:

I haven't!!!!! I have the same ATI stock on my 870 as the guy in that last video, and I practice point-shooting it with the stock folded up. The trick is to hold it out from your body, not right up next to your face, and have a real good solid grip on the front pistol grip. That way it doesn't knock you in the head on its way back....

Actually a number of years ago my sister played John Wayne with a 357 magnum my brother owned. Yeap, it reared it's ugly head back and punched her right in the face. To this day her and her husband will not shoot any handgun over 22 caliber. DUH.

Never with a PG shotgun, but a 4" .500 darn near put a divot in my forehead with the front sight.

I gave it a little bit more respect after that.

The gun in this is not a shotgun. It is a very large caliber rifle, .577 or .600, if I remember correctly. In fact it might it might be one of the old 4 bore or 6 bore rifles, it's been several years since I original saw this video.

HAHA...nice!

If you watch the first video (Gun Range Shotgun Fail), this shooter is in the background of that video.

Doesn't he know the proper way to fire it is to pull it back firmly into your bottom lip BEFORE pulling the trigger?
