I’ve whacked myself a couple times over the years but never anything more than the scope touching my eyebrow. Anybody got a good story?
Sounds like a pretty stout recoiling set up. What scope was on it?7.5# scoped CVA muzzleloader shooting 290 gr Barnes over 110 gr of BH209. That gun is not fun to shoot. It’s barked me a couple of times.
Wasn’t the scope’s fault. It’s a mix of not great stock design, high recoil, and shooting prone.Sounds like a pretty stout recoiling set up. What scope was on it?
Yep! Have an older knight disk extreme man when I was a teenager that thing would bite me all the time. One opening morning of gun deer season had a nice buck come in I pulled up settled the cross hairs and squared the trigger that time was particularly bad the metal ring of the scope caught me on the bridge of the nose and the blood started flowing. Good news I got the buck he's still my biggest muzzleloader deer and only one I've ever shot on opening day I'll never forget that one7.5# scoped CVA muzzleloader shooting 290 gr Barnes over 110 gr of BH209.

Just for kicks, I just put my muzzleloader into a recoil calculator and it came out at 56 ft/#. That’s double the recoil of a 9# 300 WM. Admittedly the recoil impulse will be a lot slower. But the thought of practicing with that gun makes me a bit more okay with the fact that I didn’t draw that bull tag during the rut this year.Yep!
