I agree with the above, completely.

I only partially agree with the above. They irritate me to no end at the range. I'm almost convinced they should be prohibited when other shooters are present. We must recognize that everybody handles recoil differently and I, for one, CAN see how recoil is an issue for other shooters. I tend to avoid rifles with what to me is objectionable recoil. To each their own.

I get that you are trying to say, I just can't understand it. I'm 5'10" and have never had an issue with it.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
