Well let's start with this...do you NOT enjoy firing rifles?

The recoil is too much for you that you think that you need to attach it to a rest with springs and shocks so that you can shoot it?

And there's the fact that a rifle will not shoot to the same point of aim when switching from a rest that completely holds the gun and when you shoot it as it was designed.

Personally I think if a person is not handicapped in some way that they actually need such a thing to shoot then it is a joke. Why shoot if you need to have a device hold the gun and eliminate recoil?

What's next with those that do this? A rest to hold the rifle, shocks and springs to tame the recoil and a remote trigger device to fire the rifle. You could set it all up and then use a few cameras so that you could just set at your computer and shoot the gun. No need to get hot or cold, no recoil, no loud bangs if you are far enough away....and no darn fun either if you ask me.

I enjoy shooting guns, all kinds of guns from the 17Mach2 to the big magnum center fire rifles. When the day comes that I can no longer shoot a rifle as it was designed to shoot I'll quit shooting it and sell it.

I just don't understand it at all so maybe you can explain to me why you think this idea is a good one and something that you need so that you can shoot.

Again...if it's a physical handicap that requires such a device to be able to shoot then please disregard the above.
