Does your neck hurts when shooting prone?

For what it is worth ...

While prone is a great shooting platform…..I rarely shoot from prone! Usually too much, cacti, rocks, sand and tall foliage to prevent shooting!

In fact…..my wife has shot more game than I from prone! memtb

Exactly. I can go prone to fire a shot at game, but no way can I practice prone. Herniated discs in lower back prevent me from doing that. Wish I could, because it sure is a stable way to shoot.

Interesting
I've been noticing that I get pretty significant neck pain after any extended time shooting magnums prone, this is pretty much exclusively how I shoot LR so it's been concerning.
I'm too young for that crap I'll start doing those exercises.

I agree. I'd were knee pads and chest plate in cactus to shoot prone lol. It's most stable.

Prone is so rare where I shoot or hunt that I spend very little time bothering with it. Perhaps learning to shoot off of a tripod would make things easier. They are heavy, but the utility is endless. It takes some practice but I have found that once ya get the hang of it they provide a stable platform.
