Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Your worst recoil experience?

I'm like JMR40, I may have posted many years ago. I had only shot a BR rifle other than rimfires and a friend gifted to me with a Weatherby Mark 5 in 300 Weatherby. I put it in the bags and shot it like my BR rifle-free recoil. Put a very bad cut on my eye that needed 4 stitches and of course the rifle fell to the concrete floor surrounding the bench. Not the hardest recoiling rifle that I have shot, but first and last hunting rifle free recoil.
