[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 993951, member: 59915"] Well I don't like lead sleds, but I don't hate them that much:rolleyes: I'd rather take a stiff slap in the face over a lead sled. Which is what I deserve if you catch me using one. I'm a firm believer that if you can't practice shooting it without being afraid of the kick, then you don't need to be hunting with it. And that is different for everyone. I've seen people flinch with a 22lr. And I'll admit when I first started shooting I flinched with the big guns. But it only took me missing a huge buck once to break that. I promised myself that I'd get over that and right then. Ever since I focus on the shot, not the recoil. If I feel like I'm going to flinch I take my finger off the trigger, take a deep breath with my eyes closed, then get back on target and a smooth trigger. I think I could jump behind a tac 50 without flinching. For the first shot at least. :D [/QUOTE]
