Might have done better if he’d pulled the scope back.

Don’t ask me how I know this.

Even with photographic evidence they were used in the day?

Just keep a link to this thread on your smart phone and pull it out if you’re  questioned by the judges. It’s period correct Shocked

It is hard to tell, but if those hooves are slipped over some cross sticks then they might be legal.  Make one up Wes and see if they let you use them.  It could give you a leg up!

A good way to get a black eye if the scope was pulled back to where proper eye relief would be. Shocked
