They do deserve more respect than they get thats for sure.
My wife is around 115 pounds, not quite 5 feet....she shoots all the time, and anything we have, the AR50 basically has no recoil to speak of. The concussion is a bit rough though after a while.
800 and 900 are not so bad, but things seem to get a bit weirder once you hit 1000... like I said I"ve never fired over 1800 yards with the 50 but I sure would like to at some point. I believe Alaska will allow me that chance in the coming years.
