Greetings and Salutations.
I have just encountered a situation where internal damage to my eyes has cast a negative outlook on shoulder fired firearms.
This comes to light as I shoot a 500 NE that is under the preferred weight and a wildcat 375. In years past I shot a lot of SXS 10 gauge rounds.
I was told that the part of my eye(s) that started the problem comes from age. They all ask if I suffered any head trauma. Is a 10gauge shotgun recoil considered trauma? will 80-100 ft lbs in a 500 NE DR might be.
The question I pose is whether other shooters of DG calibers 375 up to 700 NE and 4 to 8 bore BP rifles have had issues with their eye related to recoil.
Thank you in advance for any experience information.
