<<Well, someone else got bit by my scope today. I was sighting things
in and an acquaintance who likes to think of himself as a good shooter wanted to
take a shot. He cranked the scope down to 9x and let loose. We gave him a towel
and offered to use needle and thread, but his wife wanted him to go to the hospital
about 40 miles away. Anyway, his eyebrow will be a bit different from here on out.>>
