AFRICAN HUNTERS--DO YOU HAVE TOO MUCH GUN??
22/04/06 01:22 PM

I would like to think that I can shoot and handle recoil better than most hunters. I like my 338 and 300 Ultra(ouch)mag and tolerate my 416 but recoil is a very subjective thing. I have musclebound friends who will not tolerate more recoil than a 12 gauge delivers and refuse to shoot any 300 mag/338 WM and above.It's just not worth the aggravation to them. And there are some light guns I just don't like to shoot with hot loads like the lever Marlin Guide gun with hot 400 gr loads.Its effective but obnoxious.I am assuming its the recoil velocity that I dislike with this load/rifle.

Is there an objective test that forum members would suggest to determine if one has too much gun?? Multiple shots on a timed course at a given distance? What size target would be suggested to shoot at with what gun? For the 375?, the 416, the 458Wm and various Doubles, and the 500 class Doubles/bolt guns??

One needs to know ones limitations!!
