[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 2003966, member: 115704"] jls in az: I also hunt geese with a Spanish 10 gauge double. I would love to be able to say I have shot an 8 gauge. That is something I do not understand about recoil. I know guys that bird hunt with 12 gauge magnum shotshells and shoot dozens a day without seemingly worrying about the recoil. Sure, anyone that shoots that much in one day is bruised and a little beat up by the end of a good day, but why do so many folks worry about owning a HUNTING rifle that they probably don't shoot more than ten times a year, yet the recoil is a HUGE problem for them. I am a little chunky in my older age, but I am not a big guy. I shot a 460 Weatherby with 500 gr. factory bullets three times (all at once standing) and it did rock me on my feet and I did, on one of those shots, take a step backward, but it was survivable. Bench shooting--a different dog on that day. [/QUOTE]
