Cool picture of my clay shoot.
I hosted a clay shoot on the farm for a few friends and after about 30 minutes of constant shooting, I'm guessing the barrel was getting so hot that this started to happen. I luckily managed to snap this picture of one of the bigger flames!

It would have been good if you had drawn arrows toward those invisible flames.

You look like a 50/50 of Andy Murray and Prince Harry from your profile, which is not too tragic. 
Honestly, cool pics.

Very cool on organising that shoot, but I see no evidence of bigger or smaller flames in the picture above. In fact, I see no extra-ordinary occurrence in the picture. It would have been good if you had drawn arrows toward those invisible flames.
Cool. You look like a 50/50 of Andy Murray and Prince Harry from your profile, which is not too tragic.

The fact is that LSherratt is a nice looking young man with a cool hobby. Also, he's truthful of his achievements/interests as he posts picture of himself with them. Not like some cyberboasters who say they've done this and they do that, but no evidence to show for.
As I said before, good pics, and glad to know he had fun.

It is great fun, and thank you Swati 
I did think his stance was a little strange but he's done it a lot before and I guess what works for you and feels the most comfortable could be totally different for someone else. I've never been taught but I've watched a lot of YouTube videos on the correct stance and how to hold a gun properly. I also shoot with both eyes open Too bad I suck though

Can happen quite a bit - esp with certain types of shells or heavy loads, mags etc.
This is why you must always use eye protection.
Your gun will need a serious clean I suspect after that day.

I do have shooting glasses and we did wear them after we noticed the flames, but yes, I know we should wear them from the start and I certainly will next time.
The gun was really dirty afterwards, worst I've seen it. I thought it could have been igniting due to the build up of soot/gunpowder(?) in the breech? Anyway, all clean now ready for when I hit the birds.

LOL it's obvious that I was jesting.
