I was standing around waiting on chemistry class at college...there was a country looking boy talking to a couple of peeps. He whips out a .44 mag cartridge and starts showing it to them. I went over to see what it was cause it was the biggest damned pistol cartridge I had ever seen at the time. He explained and I uh and ah'ed...I said something to which he replied. If I shoot it with this and it doesn't die, I don't worry about cause it at real.

So as soon as I could I became a .44mag fan and that was what I learned to shoot on. I came across a guy with a .41 mag...shot that a few cylinders worth and damned if I could tell a spits worth of difference between his .41 and my .44.

As a professional pistolero...leave the elbows slightly bent. Do not try to stop the recoil because you can not...let it happen and focus on what you do next. Bring it down...find your site picture. Pull the trigger again. repeat. The sooner you can train yourself to ignore the recoil, the better. That often comes from multiple hundreds, if not, thousands of rounds. Not necessarily out of the big boomer but some sizeable popper.

back n the early 90's through casting my own lead and reducing the powder load I was able to get the .44 down to 3 cents per shot. Sometimes, I would practice reloading with the speed loader. I would rip six and reload, rip six, reload. Over and over again. I wouldn't even take the time to aim that well. I came to realize...good pistol shooting comes from...after the recoil and preparing for the next shot.

Can't wait to hear about your shooting experience with the cannon.
