Hurt bad! Worst thing I ever fired, felt like two ice picks had been driven deeply through my ears and into my skull. I stopped that after ONE shot......


Traded for one of these back in the '70's....when I was in my 20's....shot it with surplus carbine ammo....no hearing protection....once....boomtube nailed the feeling....have tried to describe how it felt but never quite found the words...excellent description....promptly traded it off....
