I have found some guns change both POI and group when you strap them to anything that takes the recoil,I ended up using mine with out the recoil absortion part, Now I realize all guns will not react the same I am just telling you about my Omega and my Triumph the System one dont chage very much because of it.

I bought one when they first came out and use if for everything from a .22 up to my 50cal and turkey guns. But instead of lead shot, which is very expensive, I found a huge chuck of steel in the scrap bin at work. It is about 2" thick and 6"X10". weighs about 25lbs I would guess. It does not get rid of all the recoil on the bigger guns, but greatly reduces it. My 50cal Knight with 120 grains of American Pioneer kicks about like a 243 in the sled.

I've been using one for a couple of years. they are will pay for themselves. there will be no more fliching and flyers of wasted ammo. put at least 50lbs of lead shot on it and it's great. i love mine. i wish i had the newer version. i used mine to shoot a .22 bench leauge. the new version has more fine tune adjustments.

I have used one several times and they are they way to go in my opinion. I will be buying my Dad one for Christmas. You don't strap the gun in, it just lays in there loose but just secure enough to shoot without moving at all. Your gun recoil pad lays against the rear support and takes the recoil. You can put bullet holes inside each other with the lead sled. I like it for scoped guns. If you shoot open sights the POI will be off due to the longer stock length the lead sled creates. Basically it throws off your sighting perspective with open sights.
