Masochistic recoil
Eating contest
Abuse themselves

Geez I'm sick! I enjoy shooting my DR's, both the large bores and the small bores.

What you don't understand is that recoil can be mastered. It's not mastered by gritting one's teeth and suffering pain. It's mastered by technique.

Don't get me wrong. If I shoot 20 rounds through a .500NE I will have soreness in the shoulder joint, but I'm not bruised or otherwise battered.

I certainly agree with one thing you say: If you don't like it, don't shoot it. But that doesn't mean that because it hurts you and you find it unpleasant that everybody else does also. Just ain't so!
