Get all the advice that you can get and then do whatever works for you.
I agree, listen to all the advice, sort it out, then decide what works for you!Get all the advice that you can get and then do whatever works for you.
They are fine used correctly as intended.I agree, but the butt plate design is abysmal as far as I am concerned.
that is only 18rds? Yes, many would load a tracer or two towards the end to remind them they were running low!
God gifted you two ears and one mouth. Pay attention to the ratio.I agree, listen to all the advice, sort it out, then decide what works for you!
Too much powder for target shooting. Good hunting load but not for long sessions of shooting at paper targets. I use 50 grains FFFg , a cloth patch and .495 roundball. I can shoot all afternoon and no soreness.I was shooting a 50 cal Kentucky long rifle with 80 grains of FFG and round balls. After around ball 20 I could not find a spot on my shoulder that did not hurt. It actually beat my shoulder black and blue.
You need to show respect for people that may have medical issues, arthritis, Rotar cuff surgery and many other possibilities. I have no problem shooting a high-power weapon (mentionable or un-mentionable) and I am almost 70 years old. However, I do have many friends and acquaintances that have ceased shooting or gone to a lighter caliber. Heck, a friend of mine's great-great aunt shot a rabbit in her garden with a 12-gauge shotgun that fractured her collarbone. While she was still in the ER she asked him to trade that shotgun for a 410.shoulder aids are for SISSIES! stand up and shoot like a man, there were none for us when we shot the M-1 GARAND in the ARMY in 1961. jmho.
Ruger thought they could foresake stress relievingI shoot my 45/70 with hot loads all the time and don't need one, but once I had a 338 Win Mag. On sighting it in, that thing kicked the dog snot outta me. Of course I ran about two boxes of ammo through it before I decided to try something else. I bought a Paast recoil magnum pad and it sure helped. Only thing is it really kinda got in the way when shouldering the gun in a standing position. Worked great for slow benchrest shots. Never did get that gun sighted in. Found out later that Ruger (it was an M77) had a batch of bad barrels that all ended up with wandering zeros. Till I got the pad, my shoulder was black, blue, red, purple, green and yellow. I'm sure it kept me from getting a blood clot so they do have their purpose.
absolutely. It is a technique(tracers) used by many militaries.We did not have a lot of trust in the magazine spring. Thought it better not to stuff to max.
Yes to the reason for the tracers. A tracer is a better clue to change mags than the click on empty.
I have one of the pads. They work. I would not use it hunting because it changes the lop etc but then , I only usually ever fire but 1 shot hunting, so I ma not concerned about the recoil and I use more manageable rounds, like .270, .308, 7x57. No magnums etc for me.I haven’t tried it yet, still waiting for the bruising to clear up. It feels good in place, and it might ease that bracing I do for the kick that ain’t helping my groups
i agree, but it is all relative. Some people think shooting a steel but plate 03 Springfield is fine, I don't!They are fine used correctly as intended.
Youth is wasted on the youngyou ae so right. I to am 78+++, and have a myriad of ailment's, and I preserver through them, just me. OLD AGE IS NOT FOR SISSIES! just all of us enjoy the time we have left, doing what we enjoy, jmho.
