Default RE: Hard Recoil/Sore Shoulder

And so it goes....

FYI, prior to elk season this year, at one sitting I double checked the zero on a 30-06 (back up/camp rifle), a 338WinMag, a 375 H&H, and then did a full sight in from scratch on another 338WinMag and a 416 Rigby with full house loads. No muzzlebrakes --- No shoulder pain (or any other pain for that matter), zip, zilch, nada --- the "technique thing" is real! Don't let recoil "chase" you down into or keep you down in the realm of "standard" cartridges if you have any aspirations to do otherwise.
=========================

Totally unrelated, but....

Any thoughts why folks are increasingly choosing to "mask" the city or even just the state where they are from? I always find it interesting to associate folk's hunting/shooting/cartridge viewpoints with where they are from. Seems like more and more folks are "hiding out" anymore.... Even BeaverJack (a strong willed non-conformist if there ever was one) wasn't ashamed to at least have his posts indicate he was from Wyoming.
