Use Enough GunI wouldn't have stood that close to any vehicle while shooting that thing. It also appears that the second shooter shot a heavier load than the first.

YES !!!!! for eye protection.
And the second guy definitely took a bigger hit.

huskyFellow Americans,
You must take in consideration that it is Imperial British Gentlemen (sic!) that are shooting the 2 Bore, and thus, they would never ever use any sort of funny looking eye protection.
Rather have one or both eyes blown to pieces as long as you are acting like a true Gentleman.!

packrattusnongratusThe bigger man maybe needed an ego bruising. I haven't shot anything as large. My .577 homemade inline does all I want in recoil. 705 gr Minnie with 120 gr FFg. It lets a whitetail know it is dead. No telegraph needed. Packy
