Scope Eye

Ouch. That hurts to watch. Pull that stock into your shoulder. A friend’s mom once got scope head. She was out firing a rifle (a 300 WinMag, IIRC) and wanted to use the open sights and not the scope. That, of course, put the scope at forehead level. Pulled the trigger and had a nice circular bruise on her noggin.

    A friend of a friend was visiting and it turns out he’d never shot a rifle with a scope. Being obliging I let him try out my Webley Vulcan. The next thing we know, he has a semicircular cut over his eye.

    Lessons learned: those spring air rifles do kick, don’t stick your eye in the scope and you’ll never live down getting scope eye from a bloody airgun.

    Last time I went shooting, my brothers friend ended up with a cut over his eye due to the recoil of a 30.30.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
