You got a receiver kiss. I don’t think a scope kiss is worse.

[@AryehDenn]

Episode idea along the lines of this one. There's an 'old wives tale', that , if your firing a heavy recoiling rifle / shotgun, you should have your shoulder up against something solid, like a tree. 'would be a good episode to destroy the shoulders of a torso. 'Call it a "PSA" ! Take care, luv the stuff.

[@metalmamasue3680]

My brother & older male cousins had me so scared the first time I fired the 12g with slugs, with stories I would roll over backwards, land on my butt at the very least, have a bruised and sore shoulder, whatever. But as the only girl in the extended family in their age group, no way would I back down. I was shooting open sights and of course my dad taught us how to shoot and safely handle firearms. I took a deep breath and squeezed the trigger. I felt a recoil, but nothing like they described it as. I didn't even look to see if I hit the target, (which I did), I turned around and said you all suck, you had me that scared of nothing. 😂😂 But I suppose it was a good lesson to do it right the first time, conquer your fear and not be afraid. I never worried about recoil after that and ended up a pretty good shot with that 12g. We learned how young back in the day, I think I prefer the good old days where that was normal. Now people are afraid of and blame inanimate objects. 🤦‍♀️ instead of the criminal who's using them.

Long story ... Dad and I had almost identical Rem 700's, same scope, but different calibers. Mine was .243, his 7mm Mag. Last day of the hunt, on our way home and a nice little buck crossed in front of us. Dad told me, "Might as well fill your tag." I hopped out, picked up one of the two rifles between us, took careful aim across the hood and KABLAM. Wouldn't you know it I had picked up the 7mm. Blood running down my face, lens out of my glasses and Dad said, "You better hit it again, it's head is still up." I couldn't see out of my right eye at all, so I leaned across the stock and looked through the scope with my left. KABLAM wouldn't you know it, got kissed again right on the side of my left eye. Neither injury was serious, no stitches, but the double shiner made me look like a boxer that lost for a couple of weeks.

And their dog was on John's lap. He said the dog was cool but freeky about the gun. The old man held it out and did a dry fire to see if he liked the scope on it. When the hammer fell on the empty chamber, that little dog almost removed John's nose. It took stitches and a few years before is kinda went away.

I watched a guy take a 30/06 to the face and learned very quickly to keep my good looks

[@Geneticspore]

Nice to see that Scott, unlike a certain branch of the military has his optics on correctly.

[@gilestibbitts2338]

Really? Look at the scope mounted on the .308 and see if think it is mounted correctly 😂

Interesting, 1971 Basic RNZAF training. 7.62 FN L1A1 (SLR) 1/2 hr after being at base dentist. Didn't feel athing when I fractured cheekbone and eye socket. Those suckers had some kick

15:56 Why did that give me Mob Boss vibes. Comes out carrying a giant crowbar.... "So tell me.... Donnie... What did we learn today?"

[@davidabernathy4553]

Well now this is a interesting video and a good lesson in what can happen if you don't have proper scope relief. I learned this with a 50 caliber black powder rifle. I had my scope too far back and the recoil hit me hard and blood started running down into my face. I learned a very valuable lesson from that incident and I never forgot it.

[@tired_jack7870]

Ah, nothing better than a KentuckyBallistics video to watch during some rain and thunder.

[@robertthomas5906]

Early 1980s. New guy on the range. Not my student. After a while, he's cursing. We were shooting M1 rifles at 600 yards prone. The sight was extended up. Pop, right in the bony part below his eye. Next week he had a black eye. Nothing permanent other than my memory of it. I can still see his face. It was that memorable. I took over and showed him how to shoot. He went from 7 & 8 to Xs and 10s. I think he joined the Marines after that.

[@chopsddy3]

Crowbar!?.. And I thought that was one of your custom toothpicks. Gonna get me one of them.😁👍

[@jimbob9963]

Hey I just got scope bite a couple days ago with a 7mm, I didn't know it was bleeding 'til I felt it running down my face,

[@StreetbeefsScrapyard]

That .50 cal is brutal! i still think my favorite part was when the bug got on the lens though.

[@petesheppard1709]

Ask Bloke on the Range! He recently got whacked when an optic came apart on an L1A1 (FAL). It left a mark.

[@Mcreations135]

This is such a cool and entertaining channel!

[@davidgilmartin7578]

That 50BMG looked like it could cause a fatal injury if not serious brain injury just shows u how lucky some of those people on the tiktok videos have been not to be seriously injured 😳 it's one of the things that makes ur content soooooo brilliant because you don't just go for the destruction 😁 you educate proper fire arms safety and tech break downs 👍again thank you for sharing another awesome video 👍have a fantastic one my friend stay safe take care all the very best from Scotland to you 👍 👊

[@Just_a_Dude80]

The brain wouldn't like all the bone fragments and + a lot of energy, which can lead to permanent damage

[@davidgilmartin7578]

@Just_a_Dude80 definitely if not a fatal deep bleed,it's just amazing when u see the transfer of force through the slomo camera you see the energy transfer through Scott's poor shoulder but when u see it focused on such a small area its defo a big ouch moment 😳 😬

[@U_ever]

You know its gettin real up in here when Scott breaks out the TACTICAL CROW BAR ! ! !

[@jjvkasteren6431]

Hey man, ive been having sleep paralysis almost everyday now and having ure videos on the background with low sound helps me alot with not getting them en even wehen i get them with u on the background its pretty funny😂❤

[@robertflint4115]

Scott could have saved himself a Zombie bust, if he would have given Houston a call for a collab video. 🤣

[@orangutanjuice]

Also known as 'Joining the Half-Moon Club' where I'm from (because of the shape of the scar the scope rim leaves in the eyebrow)

[@wade2277]

30-06 when I was 16. Sighting in a new scope while prone, adjusted my shoulder and almost knocked myself out lol. Had a black eye for a week.

[@DarthRevan474]

Happy Friday y'all

[@lazzerchicken]

Same to you

[@stormsmith6772]

4:50 this had me laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair

[@adambecker5300]

I got one from a 300 RUM when I was 15-16, still have a scar and I remember it hurt like crazy and had a nice shiner to go to school with on Monday😂

[@psychorabbitt]

Scott saying he was "kissed" by the Cerbu is the understatement of the millenium.

[@justadude3789]

Yeah if what we saw in this video counts as kisses then what the Cerbu did to Scott is equal to... well... um 😳

[@zacharyirizarry8589]

it was very passionate kiss

[@miomafia93]

They went necking. 😂

[@franticmonkey-h1s]

This gave me an idea people should make the part of the scope you look into with a soft impact reducing material.

[@rodolfocampanatres3862]

There are accessories for that. They're called Eyecups. Many models accept them

[@edbecka233]

Many optics manufacturers have supplied a rubber/polymer ring at the rear of the ocular.

[@gunner4544]

@@edbecka233yep. And with an improper hold on a hard kicking rifle, they can create wider stitches lol.

[@agridan9913]

This already exists but idk what its called

[@Wla3-gt6dk]

The only way that 50. BMG kiss could’ve been worse is if there was a not-so-well-aged slap round in it

[@Hammerstrike81]

Oh. OHHHHH. Ohhhhhhhhh. Yeahhhhh. That's... quite a snakebite from that fifty. Thanks, Scott~!

[@chrisgunsandguitars1403]

Set eye relief by turning scope to highest power and then go prone while scope is slightly loose in the rings. Mark with tape and move to leveling your rifle and reticle securing things to spec.

[@alissonoliveira1816]

My lord, 50 BMG is deadly even in the recoil

[@benn454]

Definitely not a round to get complacent around.

[@redwing6174]

16:18 oh god not the Jason Todd treatment

[@jubjubs1000]

I wish we could chill on the range someday, Looks so chill

[@noyzmunky]

Scope bite is the soul (sole) responsibility of the educator. No scope bit a prepared shooter.

[@dingo5208]

It's sole:(

[@northtexasskies7786]

​@dingo5208 nah its soul. A bad scope bite will take your soul for a while

[@dingo5208]

[@marlberg2963]

The issue I have is that unless you are myopic in your scope eye to the point of blindness getting the correct sight picture through the scope is going to be near impossible without a good cheek weld, and a good cheek weld with proper sight picture just ISN'T gonna happen unless your cheek bone is far enough from the eyepiece to provide the correct focal length so that you get a scope image that fills the tube. If you ARE that myopic, the shooting sports are unlikely to be your thing.
