Like you, recoil has never bothered me much...though when deer season came around zeroing my .300 Win Mag wasn't real fun each year...except once.

My grandfather had a double barrel 10 guage. Several years after his death I was going goose hunting for the first time and borrowed it from my grandmother.

Well, unbeknownst to her or anyone else, my grandfather had decided that if anyone ever stole it they should pay at least SOME price, and since most folks pull the forward trigger first, then the rear trigger on a double, he had rigged it so if you pulled the rear trigger then the front everything went normally, but if you pulled the front trigger first you got both barrels at once.

Oooops!...
