Said this before.....I don’t have the case files my attorney does. I’m speaking in just general terms from memory. I’m not trying to re-litigate this case over the internet.
....
What was the mechanism of injury, i.e. what, specifically caused the damage to your eye? .....
The injury was blunt force trauma…. No powder burns or brass. What actually hit me… I do not know for sure so its speculation.
Okay so if the round went off and it broke the stock, he could have just been the victim of "Weatherby Eye"...albeit on the extreme side.
Now we're into some murky waters. The round he chose was on the high end of the recoil spectrum for what T/C offers from the factory. And the load is excessive. So while the extra recoil may have been the straw that broke the camels back, the difference in recoil wasn't tremendous, and that tells me that stock was going to give way at some point anyhow.
But does anyone know what condition the stock was in before the incident? Had it been damaged?
T/C's stocks are pure tupperware, but they're made of graphite which tend to be VERY flexible and typically doesn't break.
