What's a "sissy stick"?
« on: May 06, 2009, 01:07:23 PM »
saw this term and a photo posted on the classified with a lam/camo for sale.
 I'm guessing it's a re-coil suppersor of some form, but how does it work?

Its just a steel weight put in the butt stock to help absorbe recoil. Uses mass to slow down the recoil punch. 8)

Don't believe Bob.

It's any rifle that doesn't knock your fat brother in law on his butt when he shoots it.

One o' them there shootin' sticks!  Least ways, that's what I called 'em till I needed one, but I STILL ain't let no one see me usin' one!!!  If my huntin' partner ever asked, it was officially a 'walking stick' and somethin' for pinnin' them rattlers down with till I could cut their heads off!  Yeah, yeah, that's the story!
