[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1474835, member: 75451"] My wife says “no”.....despite the fact that her “hunting” rifle has pretty “stiff” recoil (sub 9#, unbraked, .338 WM). In fact, if she is a bit hurried, she is a little more excited! The more time she has....the more calm and deliberate she is. I’ve seen her make a few pretty impressive shots. Maybe her most impressive, though only about 150 to 170 yards, through relatively heavy timber, from prone position, shooting over the edge of a steep ridge (bench), down to the next bench ( the ridge appeared to be terraced). There was a group of cow elk, milling about below, and when you could see them at all....they appeared as broken shadows. She went to a prone position, found a little window (about 4 to 6 inches), through the timber.... and waited for a cow to step into the window. A minute or so later, a single shot fired, and meat for the freezer! memtb [/QUOTE]
