I have no idea what ya'll are talking about with the corn-dog thing [&:], but I' have a bad back. Every now and then I can feel a little tightness after shooting a while but pretty much it hasn't effected me. But that just me. We all have different backs and very different back problems. Though it's good to get advice, it's really hard to say unless you've already tried it. I would talk to a physical therapist and see what he says. That's just my opinion, good luck!
