Naw that came from a collision between a scope and my eyebrow in the presence of my friends. You know it's sort of interesting that I seem to be the only one that ever experienced this as I never see it mentioned in all the discussions about low light shooting. My rifle was nothing unusual as in a short barrel or anything just a 243 vanguard actually with a 24" barrel. It was bad enough though that after 2-3 days of seeing spots I was really beginning to think I might have damaged my vision. I decided I just don't need a deer that bad.
