Elmer was damn near a midget in fact. I saw him at a NRA convention years ago. I'm 5'9 and am a lot taller than he was. I'd say he was 5'5 to 5'6. I have no problem with hard kickers, it's mostly mental. I've seen guys who were 6'4 and 300 who couldn't handle a .300 WM. You just have to have the mental ability to realize it isn't going to kill you and concentrate. The big boys will teach you proper gun mounting however, one way or another.
