Man!! I'm a skinny 150 lb wop and they don't bother me at all. I EXPECT it to kick. I relax and roll back with the punch. If you try to stand up against it and push back, you'll feel it. Relax, let it go by. It ain't a big thing. Do your homework and learn it. You've got a magnum you never knew you had. I should have used it yesterday when I had does and fawns in front of me at over 200 yards. The .45-70 was there, but I had the .44 mag in my hands and wouldn't take the shot. I've got to add, in all honesty, I was lazy. The meat room hadn't been cleaned and the hot water wasn't connected, and it was 5:30 in the p.m. Good bye deer, see you tomorrow.
