It's hard to break folks of bad habits if they dont have habits you can teach them the proper habits its amazing to witness too

This. I'm sure an instructor would go nuts trying to break me of all of my bad shooting habits. A good friend of mine's daughter is a flat out killer at long range, and has been dropping deer in their tracks out to 500 yards from the day she started hunting. He bought her a 7-08 which she doesn't use. She always wants to use daddy's 30-378 Weatherby magnum. I told him he will have to just give her that gun.


That's awesome. This sounds like a kid after my own heart.. Shooting a 30-378. I am going to guess she is not recoil adverse. To be fair I'm guessing she isn't shooting 50 rounds either, but.....

Look at it this way... a 3" 12 gauge has 50+ lbs of recoil. The 30-378 has just over 40. Most people complain about a 30-06 which has about 20.

Reconcile all that in your head and get back to me.

Recoil.... psh! Your poor shoulder.

No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
