crotalus Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Ouch! While I'm sorry you got donged, there are some funny replies/comments to your post. It's never happened to me yet and hope it never does. Looks painfully bad.... Ernest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Ha yea it is very easy to do if your not paying attention as I found out the hard way. It's still sore after a month and half ago when it happened. I agree there have been some good replies, I think it happens more than we think it does. As azshtr said I would never want to be on the other side being watched through a scope, that's just nuts!!!

Antmo23 Report post Posted December 16, 2014 I got dinged by a 300 UM Sendro. Still pissed about that one. I thought i had a good grip on that rifle and it just went right thru me and gashed me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKretschmer Report post Posted December 16, 2014 Yep, happened to me this year. same deal, shooting up hill laying down hill, I felt like more of an idiot for scoping myself than I did for missing the deer! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoss50 Report post Posted December 18, 2014 I have been hit a couple times but never drew blood. 300 weatherby I remember was 1 for sure but I don't remember the others. My dad's 300 win mag got him on the nose with the flip up button on the back scope cover and drew blood when I was a kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted December 18, 2014 I have pictures somewhere of me with a coues buck and blood streaming down my nose. I actually missed the shot where I got scoped, it rang my bell pretty good, and it took a few minutes to regroup before I was able to finish the job. It was worth it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
