but I'm young yet.
it is not the age, but the mileage...you are adding miles with every shot...
though mentally, I remain 6...my mileage puts me WAY up there...
but I'm young yet.
I'm not an expert (hence this thread), but in my experience the head/neck insult is extremely depend on posture. My first range trip I used my usual stool (partially laid down on the bench) and the gun about kicked my shoulders out from under my head. My neck hurt for a week.
I stole a short stool from the pistol range so I'm sitting upright, with elbows still on the bench; it's much like standing up from the waist up. The headsnap, cheekbone impact, and neck ache are gone. The bruised shoulder remains, but I'm young yet.
While I'm not a huge fan of my 375 off the bench it is not painfully uncomfortable. I've shot it prone, kneeling, sitting, standing, and from the bench. I like the bench the least.
But it has never caused me more discomfort than a little bruising at my shoulder.
I'm a little guy. I'm only 5'9. And 220lbs... LolNot all of us are as tough as Texans!
Sorry it took so long. I'm running 72.5 grains of IMR 4895.Care to say a charge weight? Really hot or mid-grade?
I hope you enjoyed vacation!Sorry it took so long.
Very true.Shooting from a bench magnifies recoil more than offhand.
