What is the difference between shooting off a sand bag or a bench rest? Are they the same?
A long session with a stout-recoiling handgun can be punishing.
Amen to that! I was shooting some .357 Mags, doing essentially the same thing; accuracy, etc.I use a nice adjustable rest to develop accuracy loads, once I know the revolver or pistol will do good groups from the rest I go to field positions and practice, practice, and practice some more.
No doubt about that. I ran 80 rounds through my 454 one afternoon setting behind it on the same adjustable rest, checking loads at 50 and 100yds.
The next morning, I thought I was having a heart attack when I woke up I hurt so bad through my shoulders and down to my wrists. Just recoil induced pain was all it was though.
