crossbow recoil?
I was watching a tv show the other day and a guy was hunting with an Excal. After the shot the camera zoomed in and showed a pretty little half moon cut between his eyes just like from a high powered rifle. They acted like it was normal.
I have a special device hold my bow since I'm paralyzed so I don't notice any recoil, I've also had friends shoot my bow with no noticeable recoil either.
How about you guys?

I haven't seen anybody with an Excal have recoil cut from a scope. I have never stuck my eye up into the scope for it to cut me. Saying that, my Exocet 200 doesn't have much of a recoil. Never felt anything with mine.

I have a guy a work that did the same thing with his Horton about four years ago. I could never understand how he did it. When I was bench shooting my Excal and my Horton in the past I would pretty much let the rest hold the CB and it would not move at all when fired with me just reaching around to squeeze the trigger. Sometimes I wonder if the guys that do it just happen to have there eye right on the scope and when they pull the trigger they have a bad case of trigger jerk and actually pull the scope into there own eye. My Multiretical scope has a nice crisp edge on it and it would not take much of a hit to make a small cut. The guy at work just barley broke the skin, but since I recognized it he told me it was from his scope. Like I say though, I just cant see how it happens with a CB?

Shortly after having my Exocet 200 at home my cousin and I went out back flicked on my range lights and launched a few arrows.
Came in the house and noticed a fine line of blood running down his face, very funny indeed!
