    Anyone shoot shotguns?
    I've never shot a 10-gauge before, and am curious about the kick on those things. I've heard stories of everything from "strong but not that bad" to "guaranteed going to break your shoulder".

    I've shot 12-gauges before, but jeez the 10-gauge shell looks like a real monster.

    I don't have one but my friends uncle does. Its like shooing a double barrel with 3 inch slugs in each chamber and shooting them at the same time. Not really too bad....But I wouldn't shoot it more than a few times a day. Went out shooting his 416 rigby a few weeks back. That things awesome.
