.338 ultramag, 300gr. Berger, prone. Just enough of a tap to remind me not to do it again.

I didn't grow up shooting rifles, and bought and fired my first one without any adult supervision.
Having to patch up an eye is a good way to learn. 10/22 ruger? 😉 I wish. 700 ADL milk jug synthetic in 30-06, with a Tasco moon scope. Live and learn...

Japanese Weaver on a Ruger Skeleton stock 30-06. Laid awkwardly across an alder branch. Got laid open. Required a follow up shot. Got it again. I am a slow learner. .30-06! I’ve been hit a few times but never cut. Thank god. My .30-30 has caught me and .30-06 but hasn’t cut me. I’ve seen my buds bleed from simple recoil. Apparently they don’t know how to shoot.🤪 I have dumb friends.

That is the main reason people get scope bit. Ignorance.. Not knowing and being unable to shoot a rifle is not ignorance. ig·no·rance /ˈiɡnərəns/ noun lack of knowledge or information. Isn't that not knowing?

What was the issue with that rifle? Tigger? The problem was the operator. The rifle was fine, I just know now that there are better choices in chambering and build and optics and the like. Fairly light rifle, big recoil, and a short eye relief scope are not good choices for the uninitiated. Fortunately I know now, thanks in part to people on this site, so my boys started off on a better foot.

Isn't that not knowing? Your right. According to googles definition. I guess we are all ignorant in some aspects dealing with tools, or, not knowing how to use them properly. Ignorant in my definition is using or doing the same thing twice without learning your first negative lesson. I’m ignorant

I don't recall it ever happening, but if it did it couldn't have been too bad.

Ignorant: means you do not have the proper information.
Stupid: means you lack the capacity to understand and use the information you have.

the same thing twice without learning your first
negative lesson. That seems closer to obtuse, or thick.
