I was reading a thread in 'rifle country' where someone stated that he couldn't stand the recoil on a rifle because there is 'not much up there'. Got me to thinking as to whether any of you train for recoil when taking a whack from a 6 1/2 lb .338 Lapua (names not mentioned to protect certain folks) - I guess padding is an issue be that fat or muscle.
Assuming muscle is the preferred option (not to be fattist) - do any of you take specific measures to prevent those shoulder bones taking punishment? Or just not an issue?
I guess its not an issue for any 'plinking', but some of you seem to own lightweight rifles in substantial cartridges for hunting purposes.
Thanks for any thoughts.
