[QUOTE="FIGJAM, post: 1553248, member: 71039"] I think you have to distinguish between tolerating recoil on a gun and enjoying the recoil. Forcing a young or small shooter to shoot a magnum seems silly regardless of the recoil pad. They develop good habits by shooting guns with little recoil that are fun to shoot. My 11 year old can shoot my 7RM in a small group at 200 yards. He doesn’t like it - he can tolerate it. If that was the gun he had to shoot when we went to the range I would be going by myself more often than not. Also, the reason he can shoot those small groups in the magnum is because he has shot thousands of rounds down his 17hmr, 223 and 6.5CM and has developed the fundamentals before he had to learn to tolerate the recoil. Also, Because he likes to shoot his 223 and 6.5 CM I always have a shooting buddy. [/QUOTE]
