Muzzys Kick

[Tracker12]

Just a reminder that muzzys do kick especially off the bench. Guess it was due since this is the first time in 55 years

Wow that was a heck of a kick. Gashed your head and knocked all your hair out. I just can’t help myself most of the time.

Looks like that hurt.

Happens to the best of us.

I never had a Tasco Tattoo in all these years, until last summer. Shooting prone at Camp Atterbury and it got me on the nose. Blood dripping everywhere and I just kept loading and shooting. The relay was timed.

What were you shooting?

His eye out…

I took the scope off of my Thunderhawk because it got me a couple of times. I went with a peep sight and have killed a few deer with it.

Welcome to the "Red Crescent Club"!

 

[deermanok]

A bit more eye relief is in order here.

 

[Shorty]

Welcome to the club, eventually, over time we all get one.

I've done that with my ram rod! LOL

 

[Pymahunter1]

Been there, done that! The 2-7x Vortex Diamondback now resides on a Ruger 10/22 while my Thunderhawk now wears a 2-7x Leupold Freedom.

oh heck, been there myself. my 50 cal dang near re located my shoulder at max load, I had both my ML's threaded for brakes plus I added the simms slip on pads on both. I ended up at 70 weighed BH209 for the 50 and 77 weighed on the 45. both are a lot easier to shoot. I worked up the loads with scopes on but NM outlawed scopes this year so I had to learn to shoot with iron sights

Yessir, even with the right amount of eye relief. With a significant recoiling gun, you get in a hurry, get excited, maybe not have the ideal shooting position, or cant your gun slightly, you're gonna get scope bit.

 

[smokepolehall]

Geez that's a super bummer ! I did that but not like you got tagged with my & mag years ago. I changed out to a better eye relief scope rather quickly. No way i like the amount of recoil that causes those beauty marks on my face

 

[Wilyote1]

One of the first things I look at now is eye relief if I purchase a scope.

Hope there is no lasting damage.

Move to Utah, and you won’t have to worry about that!

 

[DGH]

Ouch,

That's going to leave a mark..

 

[Ninering62]

Move to Utah, and you won’t have to worry about that!

To hell with ever living in any state that is putting any restrictions on what I can & can't use in or on my friggin muzzleloaders. So that permanently excludes me from ever hunting in some really great states for hunting unfortunately.

The last time I did that I didnt realize while I was shooting prone position my eyebrow was closer to the scope then sitting at a bench. Learned quickly after that.
