Scott204 1 Posted October 8, 2012 Went to the range today with my hunting rifle, which I haven't shot in a few years. It just so happens to be a particularly hard kicking rifle and on my second shot, I scope cut myself. I have never done it before and hope I won't do it again but man it sucks. I feel like such an ass. Anyway anyone else here brave enough to admit doing the same? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnp 45 Posted October 8, 2012 First rifle I bought when I was 18, Remington 770-.270, look through the scope..fire...nice bruise on my forehead. Quickly learn the fundamentals of shooting with a scope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted October 8, 2012 This is why I shoot vagina guns. No, never happened to me. But people are going to look at that mark for the rest of your life because it's obvious what it is Ah, in a hundred years, who'll know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purple Patrick 638 Posted October 8, 2012 The first time I shot a garand I was 14 and put my nose to close to the gun and wacked myself and have myself a bloody nose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted October 8, 2012 When I shoot a Garand I put my nose on the rifle. But that's actually safer than "too close" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodentoe 14 Posted October 8, 2012 This is why I shoot vagina guns. I know the gun laws in PA are minimal, but where can I get a gun that shoots vaginas? I think my incident at the steel shoot may have ended differently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

checko 180 Posted October 9, 2012 Thank god I was wearing my glasses as the .30-06 flew right back and hit them. Worse was when I forgot to put my ears on in the SCFGPA tube with the same rifle. Ouch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueLineFish 615 Posted October 9, 2012 I have forgotten to put ears on before. You learn how important they are when you are shooting slugs at an indoor range and 20 people are qualifying simultaneously. Scared the hell out of me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soju 153 Posted October 10, 2012 Not quite, but I am pretty sure I came close. I always wear eye protection, and I'm pretty sure they saved me one time. I am not quite sure though, because the glasses were fine, and I was fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4BGRINGO 139 Posted October 11, 2012 Guilty. First and last time shootin a .375 H&H. What is that round like to shoot? What is it comparable to?

One day I need to buy lottery tickets............. In all honesty, it's not that bad. I actually shot three rounds. First one is the one that caught me, after that I was ok. I haven't shot anything compairable to that so I can't give a good description. I can say that it's worse than shootin a .30-06, but I think that's a given. Just need to get used to it.
