I have a little Marlin Guide Gun that is beating me black and blue so yesterday I went in to the gun shop to buy a PAST recoil pad to help my dainty shoulder handle this fearsome little rifle.
So I walked up to this big friendly fella in the store and loudly proclaimed "I need a strap-on!" and he looked at me like I was some kind of weirdo or something and tried to ignore me. When I repeated my request even louder, he gives me all this attitude and leans over the counter and growls "Mister, I think you are in the wrong store..."
Well, I admit.. I got mad too. "Listen here, you bald headed furly," I bellowed, "If I want any attitude from you, I'll rattle my zipper..." and with that, he reached over and grabbed me by the collar! Then he got his other hand on the back of my belt and gave me the bum's rush out to the door! Once we got to the door I got tossed out and landed in the gutter in the street! Can you possibly imagine my chagrin?
In any event, it seemed there was some kind of misunderstanding and I ended up buying my recoil pad.
Any of you fellers recoil wussies? Have you used these recoil pads? Are they only good for the bench rest or do they work well in the field too?
