What is your recoil threshold poll?

[Lenny Foffa]

Well thids past Jan I sent my Weatherby Ultralight,(270 Win) back to Weatherby to have a muzzle break fitted. The recoil was becoming unpleasant, and a newly torn up right shoulder did not help either. So I'm hoping the new break will soften the punch. What I would like to ask you all, is there a danger in shooting a heavy recoiling rifle off your right shoulder, if you have a pacemaker on the right side??? Any thoughts boys???

So you probably would not like my 1974 Power Wagon. It's like climbing on top of a logging truck and riding it out of the mountains. It has it's own recoil. But not against your shoulder.

Ah yes. The old Power Wagon....LOL

Yes....they put the Pacemaker....on the wrong side! Your heart...is on the left!!!!

Hey I was wondering about that but there are a few people that their insides are opposite.

I seen a deer with opposite inside once. Dirt on the inside and heart on the outside.

300 RUM mighta had something to do with it though.

Well, I'm not a doctor so I don't know.
I would imagine though, that if the heart stopped, a good recoil punch might get it going again?

My Dad's old WWII .303 Lee Enfield also caused some felt recoil even though it was a heavy rifle with full stock and steel buttplate. I was about 12yrs old and 90lbs soaking wet then. A bit much for me then...

This was my introduction into shooting centerfire rifles as well. We had Imperial factory rounds with 180gr bullets. I have no idea what the muzzle velocity was, but that brass butt plate would leave a tattoo on my shoulder. That rifle killed a few moose in its day.

The only scope bite I have ever got came from my muzzle loader. In the days when I used 777 pellets I was using the gun with a 2 pellet load. I could not get it to be consistent so my brother suggested I go with 3 pellets. That gun came back quite a bit harder than the two pellet load. I could tell by the numb feeling above my eye that I was going to need a band-aid. I was a little embarrassed.

On the topic of diesel motors, if it isn't a CAT then it doesn't matter, it sucks.

You also need the mv to calculate the numbers! memtb

I thought there was something else. All of those old notes are in the shed/loadroom and I can't get out right now. It's been a long time since I really messed with that stuff, but I'm trying to get back into it.
Thanks, Paul

I'm lucky because I'll never get scope-eyed from my muzzleloader only because here in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest, scopes are not legal during muzzleloader season. (Neither are pellets or 209 primers). Nevertheless, a but a bit too much Triple 777 powder and mine will kick my butt!

Just like the scam emails I get, the author of that meme suffers from poor spelling and grammEr!
