Here is a free lesson. Absorb the recoil, dont try to stop it with your shoulder...

or your face.

Good times...

Probably a large caliber handgun with a good sized hammer spur.

Large rifle with a scope?

rifle with scope

.300 with a big scope. Looked great looking through the scope, didnt feel so good a second later, though. I took a second shot after the pic without any more injury. I though the Mosin Nagant kicked hard.

That cut isn't from the way you handled recoil. I coached shooters in the Marines for ten years and I can tell you that was from the shooter creeping up on the stock.

Could be. I was kind of leaning down propping the gun up on a bbq pit, probably not the best firing position.

Nah shyte happens, u will be handsome again in a couple of weeks. I would not spread the word of how it happened. Maybe you fought off a gang of muggers? One got you with a hammer.

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #13 on:** January 02, 2011, 08:05:12 PM »

Yeah, but I was with a friend from work, so I am screwed. It got him too, but didn't cut him.

Sorry dude, you will have to man up and take it.

My mates all call those sorts of injuries "idiot cuts", touch wood never had one but it will probably happen one day.

Agreed. in the Oz Army we see similar injuries with new recruits fairly regularly, (although more usually above an eye, not in the middle of your forehead, you obviously didn't have hold of that weapon, ha ha!) we call it "Steyr Eye". That's why I like .22's.
