[QUOTE="Corey Schwanz, post: 1037644, member: 85383"] I've actually never done a ladder test yet (but will be with a new rifle soon). I'm personally not a fan of the lead sleds. I can understand their selling point to reduce felt recoil and it may be something great for newer shooters like kids, etc. The problem I have with them is the shock that it can send into the rifle itself. That recoil has to go somewhere and if the gun can't move at all the rifle takes the beating. I would get yourself setup with a good front rest (Sinclair, Caldwell, Bald Eagle, etc) and a rear bag to shoot from. Will hold the rifle solid for the shot. Take plenty of breaks if you think you need it or if recoil is starting to get you jumpy and you are worried about your own shooting skills. Also, when I was younger I would use a folded up towel or pair of heavy socks on my shoulder as a recoil pad. Even something like a trap shooting vest with a little pad can go a long way to make a range session more comfortable. [/QUOTE]
