RE: Idiot Mark
1989- slug gun with my 1st ever scope mounted on it. Crept up on the stock as I was shooting and whamo! Took the eyepiece right between the eyes and on the top of my nose. Looked up as my two friends were glassing my shot at 100yds on a farm field. The one replies" Nice shot, you hit the bullseye, now go getta' rag for your forehead"!
Was so happy to put a slug in a 100 yds that I didn't even realize I whacked myself with the scope. Blood was running down my forehead and nose when I looked in the truck's mirror. Clean it up, put a piece of torn hanky and duct tape on it and finish shooting with the guys!
They didn'tlet me live that one down for a while!
