ORIGINAL: CynthiaWVirginia Resting your face on something hard, using it for balance while you receive impacts...next time rest your face against one or both of your forearms, elbows a little bent. Your body will absorb the impact better. Depending on the intensity of the impacts and how out of it you were, it's possible your neck might feel a little stiff for a few days too. Even a small impact can hurt soft tissue when it's very close to the bone (or to teeth). I'd guess you've never held the butt of a BB gun to your chin/lips when you squeezed the trigger to shoot a tin can. Yep, I thought it would have no kick, compared with the Colt 45 and shotgun dad had me use...I busted the inside of my lip. [:D] I have had BB guns, rifles and shotguns hurt my shoulder, but never my face. My face is never touching any part of the gun when I shoot.
