I actually do have the ProHunter which is what actually made me laugh because everyone says they're recoil pad is terrific...i couldn't imagine what it was like without it! After the first two shots and the initial shock, I was fine for the next 5 or 6 rounds so I know the recoil won't feel as bad next time. That final round though did sting a bit I must say. .308's and my Omega with 150 grains are the only things I have to compare it to and I don't think it was close. I am very happy I found a nice round right off the bat.
My average shot is going to be about 50 yards, I'm not really sure if a 100 yard shot is possible where I go but better safe than sorry. I like the idea of being dead on at 75yds and then seeing where it hits at 100 and 50.
I think I'll take a few days off though with the slugs and plink away with the .17 for a bit
