Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only How "big and strong" must one be to handle the recoil of a true Big Bore?

Absolutely no correlation. There are big guys that can't handle a 30-06, and people barely breaking into the triple digits that handle the big guns in stride.

I've found all that's required is a desire to shoot the big gun, a gun that is properly sized to the shooter, good form, and when you can no longer concentrate on shooting the gun, stop shooting it for the day.
