[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2768756, member: 104363"] I think it gets into our brain that we are carrying something heavier on our shoulders. When I think about it, it's not that my feet feel it, my shoulder knows it. If I went on a diet, and lost the 10 pounds that my rifle weighs, my shoulder would still feel the 10 pounds regardless. Worse if the gun is barrel heavy, as it always sways around and constantly adjusting the strap on my shoulder so it doesn't nose dive into the dirt/rocks. Yeah, I did that. If I put it in my backpack, strapped in, I think it would be less noticeable as it limits sway and distributes the load to both shoulders and hip. When I hike for exercise, I always use my pack with weight (water), but I need to pack a heavy gun to try to train my brain to just suck it up. It is what it is. [/QUOTE]
