like being scoped, proper stance hold tight but don't have to choke it to death.shot my new toy a few days ago.470 cogswell and harrison (pictures coming soon) wacks pretty good but hit the milk jug a 50 yrds and did a quick follow up shot into the plastic. nothing unmanagable. now that damn 8.5 lb high wall i built in 45-120 stuffed completely full of blackpowder through a drop tube and a 525 caster on top now that has feelings.
