There is static and then there is static
Static electricity that is barely detectable might be one thing, stronger static electricity another. Static electricity can and does kill people. Sliding feet, even accidentally across some carpet used to deliver quite a jolt. I'd have to think that much static could be significant but it also seems like it would be discharged before the shot. Perhaps static can build from bridge hands rubbing on felt? I don't know. Maybe from shirt material rubbing is a more likely culprit.
Traveling high desert areas things would build up enough static that you learned to discharge it before reaching for a chrome door handle on a vehicle. There are very few things I declare impossible anymore. Something only has to happen once to prove it can happen, proving something can't happen is almost impossible.

I’m still not convinced that static is not a reason for some skids.
...I saved some info on my computer which I will post later in the day.
One day you, Bob, and the Doc will be saying...”We should have listened to that red neck
high school drop-out.....
