The question was asked at deer camp today. How can you stand the recoil on those big bore gun that you shoot ? Then one of the other members said. ( Hurt's my shoulder to even think about pulling the trigger on any gun that says mag on the side )
Well I paused for just second and said. I have never noticed that my 338 WIN mag or 300 ultra mag have any more recoil than my 243 . When I line up a good clean shot on the animal that I"m about to take.
Adrenalen, heart rate, breathing all kind of blend together. Cross hair is in it's place. The presure builds on the trigger. Then Bang, it's done. Just like that. No recoil , Just a little blood from the eye lid from time to time. But when I go to the bench to shoot those big a** guns, they kind of roll my eyes around. Sight in time is short !


So would anyone like to comment on hunting recoil ?
Do you notice heavy recoil when hunting or just at the bench ? Most of your responses will be the talk of saturday night dinner.
