Broken Noses
I was just wondering about this. How many people have ever broken their nose from scope recoil? While I was hunting a few years ago, I had a deer come in behind me where I wasn't able to stand up and turn or it would have been all over. (I was in a treestand.) I hunt in very thick cover, and they can run in on you in a hurry. Well,,,,,,, I tried to bend around and take the shot. I pulled the trigger, the deer dropped along with my glasses. The recoil had split my glasses at the nose piece. I had a doe tag, so I taped my glasses back together and stayed in my stand until night fall. Well,,,,,, when I got home, and everyone was talking about my nose being broke. I didn't realize it was that bad. It literally moved my entire nose over about half an inch. To this day I can still only breath out of one side. In case you were wondering, I was using a Rem 760 .308 caliber. Just wondering if anyone else had the same type of experience.
