[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 958822, member: 12995"] I do the same thing a good bit. People will walk over and start crowding around wondering what my "cannon" is? Usually when I'm shooting my 7mm STW or .300 Ackley. Then once I talk to them for a min and get a feel that they're competent enough to shoot something like that, I'll explain to them that if you hold the rifle semi-tight, the recoil won't rock you, but it also won't pop you. I'll ask them if they want to squeeze one off. Most of the time they say yes. I shoot from a bench 99% of the time, and it does take a toll on you. But I've shot well over 100+ rounds of big magnum ammo through 10-11 lb rifles + another 100+ in standard calibers in an afternoon all riding on sandbags. Your shoulder will hurt for the next couple days, but it goes away quickly. [/QUOTE]
