Thumbs up You Guys Crack Me Up!

I usually don't feel the recoil either WHILE hunting, except for when the scope slams into my forehead. Even then I rarely feel any pain, I just notice the blood coming out. My pain usually comes the day after hunting when I wake up with a sore back.




Does anyone who has ever shot a slug gun with a scope NOT have scope eye? I looked around the bait shop today and almost everyone has that little half moon scar. Even one guy who only shoots a bow, can't figure that out, unless that's what made him a bow hunter.


Interestingly enough Fabs- my first introduction to scope lens and forehead (as well as lip and wood butt stock) came at the hands of a buddy's 300 Winchester Magnum, many moons ago out on some rural property in Wisconsin. As I recall, there was not even a buttstock plate offering, just a hard hunka wood! Ouch!


Now that I think about it, perhaps I will take a look at selling both the 870 and BPS and picking up an auto slugger!!!That memory is bringing on a dang headache!
