Okay, this isn't a "I'm a real man and your a girly boy" type of thread. But does anyone else just really enjoy a good heavy recoil? I'm not talking about to the point of injury, but I just like shooting a bigger caliber. Just for the fun of it.
I had a 10 gauge that I could only really handle 2 maybe 3 slugs out of, but I just got a good kick out of all that power. Not because it Made Me Feel Like A Man, but because it was just fun to have that big controlled explosion in my hands. My hunting rifles are a .444 Marlin and this year I'll be trying my Mosin. .357 Magnum is one of my favorite handguns that I've shot, and I'd love to try a Casull or a .500.
I get that these aren't conducive to high speed, accurate competition shooting (not that they're not accurate), and maybe newbies with a fear of guns should work their way up to avoid flinching, but how much fun is that loud bang and heavy push in your mitts?
Anyone?
