What idiot invented micropore?

[TeeDee]

No, this injury was caused by a much more ancient shooting device.

Competition Time....

 

[British Red]

Right handed.

Sticks then?

 

[MartiniDave]

Red,

Have you tried some stuff called Hypafix? That's pretty good and not too pricey.

[Corso]

I'm allergic to Micropore but not to the old type plasters. Trying to persuade medics of that is often a hard job though.

Realy - we have it on a drop down list when we are taking allergy histories

there are other tapes out there of more or less use, some are specific to certain requirments

Mefix and Hyperfix are two that spring to mind but we don't use either where I work

 

[British Red]

I will try the Hypafix - thanks

 

[santaman2000]

So a crossbow?

 

[JonathanD]

All is revealed....

 

[British Red]

Catty lash? How did you get such a big wound?

 

[JonathanD]

The lead ball hit the web of my hand before bouncing harmlessly a few feet in front of me. No lash, just a .44 ball full impacting into my hand. I pull them back a long way too, and those black tubes are powerful. It was a very deep and weird wound.

 

[British Red]

ouch!

That was a fairly crap technique!

 

[JonathanD]

ouch!

That was a fairly crap technique!

Yeah, it wasn't good.

Same technique I've been using for 35+ years though, so a freak accident which may be contributed to by catty design, pouch size, and ammo used. I'll be investigating more thoroughly once my hand has healed and I've found suitable protection in case it decides to happen again.
