It looks like you have a couple of 4-wheelers in the background?? Ain't it a hoot to get out and ride and shoot?? We do it all the time. I have a Kawasaki Mule that I had modified. We grab three or four hundred rounds and take off for the afternoon. I am older so I drink Pepsi instead of Budweiser. But she drinks a few Buds(I am the driver). I really enjoy watching the ladies shoot(especially her and my best friend's daughter). If someone helps a lady shoot with the properly fitting firearm, the ladies get hooked real fast. And ladies seem to be more steady when it comes to off hand shooting. Good Luck, Tom.

Not my 4 wheelers. A buds down at camp. They are fun. My mother was down with us and she was riding my daughter around... well as soon as she put it in "reverse" my daughter thought "hey..... I wanna go FAST!". Almost hit me and almost backed into a dern tree. It was so scary watching that but geez I couldnt stop laughing. I thought my mother had done chit in her pants.

I know it feels weird, but you need to do it until you get used to it. It is just like shooting a bow, anytime you change anything it feels odd, doesn't mean it is wrong though. You are just not used to it. Rifles need proper form as well, it's just as critical. If you would stick with doing it the correct way you would find after a while you won't get tired as quickly and you will shoot better. Not to mention being that far off balance the recoil will really effect you. I wouldn't be surprised if after the shot you have to actually take a step backwards to keep your balance. Am I right on that?

To answer your question though, yes I have been smacked in the head before. Normally when shooting something with a lot of recoil and using a high powered scope turned all the way up off from bench. The higher power makes eye relief more critical and when shooting from a bench I tend to creep up on the scope sometimes.

I have done it with a 30-06 when I was younger and again with my slug gun a few years ago. I am very little, so that doesn't help either. I only weighed about 85-90 lbs when I had the 30-06.

Hey cupcake....its great form....for a smaller rifle like you have...have fun with it....We need to get you into a 12 gauge Turkey Load 3 1/2 inchbullet and let you give it a go. Needless to say. Very impressive! I have enjoyed reading the conversations about your first forehead experience...

I have had a handful myself. But with mine I broke the skin....[:@]

How good are you with the bow??
