Speaking of "Scope Bit" - when I was a rookie (at the ripe age of 38), my buddy that introduced me to Turkey Hunting invited me to his place. He has all manner of weapons - so we were shooting all kinds of firearms from pistols, derringers, rifles and semi autos. Towards the end of the day, he breaks out his .50 cal Black Powder with scope. He lets me pack it and offers no advice on shooting - I guess he wanted a good laugh. Any way, we had a target set up about 150 yds and he suggested that I steady myself on the well housing. I sorta squatted down and had no idea about gun positioning. I sighted in and squeezed it off. BOOM! the scope cut me "good" and the recoil rolled me onto my back. He was doubled over laughing. I did hit about 1 inch above center though.
