[Jim-Iowa]

I am not a big guy, about 5 ft 8 inches and 160 lbs. fairly light build. The Guys at the club seem to like seeing me shoot their big stuff. Since I will try anything once, I shot it and no it did not bust me between the eyes.
However when your wrist starts tingling and your wrist watch comes unsnapped, you ought to know when you have had enough. Don shot it 5 times and had to quit because the mirror came loose in his red dot.
My opinion of the .500 is it should be a single shot(maybe a Contender).
Shot once and reach for your skinning knife.

It is more than I care to shoot.
But if your a masochist have a ball, I enjoy shooting too much to have to give it up due to carpal tunnel syndrome brought on by excessive recoil.
