Oh, yeah. Totally get that. Aimpoint has a bunch of YouTube videos where people are shooting hares and pheasants with their red dots mounted half-way down or even near the muzzle. They want me to buy an Aimpoint and put it on my shotgun.

My questions is - and maybe people just never do this in North America, I don't know - would extended shooting damage the rib in some way? Or not at all.
