So i went to banner rd yesturday with some friends who dont shoot a lot of guns and the funniest thing happened when one of my friends got up to shoot my rifle he shot it after one shot he said im done and tunrned around with blood all over his eye it was the greatest thing i have ever seen in my life

Bad part is that's a guy that will probably never want to shoot again.

 

[cptnhowdy138]

No he thought it was funny to he kept shooting after that

Good 'ole scope-bite. I got my first scope-bite as a kid shooting my dad's Marlin 336 30-30. Only happened once!

How did it get him with safety glasses on?

I think you are on to something here.

I got rattled one by a 338 Win Mag.
I was even being careful.

Just like Forest Gump said "It happens...."

Happened to me the first time I shot a Rem 700; 4 stitches and a headache that wouldn't quit! Never had a problem after that--

 

[cptnhowdy138]

He wasnt wearing any

I had a friend sit down on my uber-heavy Remington 700 build on a bipod in .308 with a suppressor on it after I had just shot it.

I mount the rifle and lay down my weight behind it and I guess it looked like it had no recoil at all and he gets on the rifle like he doesn't want to mount the cheek wield and scoots forward to the scope. Just about the time I was going to say "uhhh - you don't want to"... he pulled the trigger and bang - it barely nicked his eye.

Thought he knew it still had a touch of recoil even with the extra weight and the can - I felt really bad.

BTW, I don't use safety glasses when shooting scoped bolt-guns. Gas-guns are a different story, but not on Bolt-guns.
