Learning the Hard way

[Snapshot]

I have been bruised once, shooting at a steep downward angle, but no cuts luckily.

I have been bruised once, shooting at a steep downward angle, but no cuts luckily.

 

I've been cut twice, and both were with scopes mounted too far back on Weatherby rifles ... one of them was the .416 Weatherby I took to Africa for the lion I use as a signon. Both were on loan from the mfg., and both had the old Weatherby scopes (they were junk!) mounted when they shipped them to me. One of the things I try to remember but almost always forget to look for when I buy a scope is eye relief. There is a big difference between makers and models.
