Chuck: by the looks of your bicep, it appears the rifle must have slipped out of your shoulder pocket a few times. This same thing happened to me shooting my 13.5 pound .600 OK. I found it most uncomfortable. Since then, I aways wear my Past Pad at the range when shooting the big ones. For me, it was not so much the extra padding that helped, but the texture of the pad covering, (which is something like a pigskin suede), that prevented that sort of slippage. Hats off to you for enduring 30 rounds. I never could have done that. 15 rounds is about my limit. The following is a picture of me shooting the.600 OK. Note the gases being expelled by the muzzle break, as well as the front sight hood flying off the rifle. Cheers. Chip.
