Some gun humor

I would bet that with a Cape buffalo charging you at 30 yards the recoil, you wouldn't even feel the recoil./QUOTE]

many years ago in Alaska...about a 375 pound POd grizzly at under 50 yds. 2 shots with a M-70 375 H&H...Don't even remember cranking the Bolt for the 2d shot...and I think he was going after the other guy next to me...he never got a shot off.

This was kinda funny. My wife was out to the garden and a big ol rattler wanted to take a swipe at her...she shot him with a single action 44 with shot cartridges...3 times... cause it was still moving ...and didn't remember cocking the hammer once...or any recoil

Biggest I ever shot was a .300 mag out of a Weatherby. Don't recall if it was a Weatherby or Win mag. I was wearing a t-shirt only. It left me with a bruise as I sighted it in for a friend. Ouch.

I have a 10ga dbl bbl. I quickly put on my silicone recoil pad, so it was/is tolerable.

I agree a big caliber in a LW rifle is no disco.

Seen a bunch of videos and never understood why some one could stand by and watch a person touch off a large round while standing either straight up or leaning back.
But then again I said nothing while my brother warmed his tush by the fire with a bunch of paper towels hanging from his back pocket.

Many years ago, at a SF A-team camp, I decided to shoot an M-60 with butterfly grips (no butt stock) from the hip. My crew chief and gunner laughed as they got the gun off me, laying flat on my back. Apparently I was not in the proper stance.

Photo of the boys clowning around, not at that A-team, with the M-60's firmly mounted to my UH-1D.

Decades ago I was at a shoot that required a team to break 25 clay pigeons wired to a mesh. The only rule was to use cast bullets. Karen broke 8 with one shot when she fired the 416 Rigby at a rock about 5 feet in front of the target and cast shrapnel did the rest.
The rules committee met that day and it was allowed to be legal once.

Years ago I watched about a dozen people shoot centerfire rifles offhand at a target. Everybody but one were shooting .243 or 7X57 rifles. One guy had a lightweight rifle in .300M and every time he shot the rifle stood straight up. He won the match and then told the other shooters that if they wanted to win they needed to get rifles that didn't have much recoil. Larry

shot a friend's Ruger No. 1 in 458 exactly 3 rounds, he had decided to sell it and wanted help getting rid of his reloads so he could include the empty brass.. we shot at a 10 inch square piece of mild steel about 50 yards with the iron sights.. by the time the ammo was gone, the plate was a bowl.. don't have any desire to repeat the experience...

I love the 1911......but I laughed out loud at that!
