Has anyone used the "Lead Sled" for testing in an effort to reduce recoil?
· Was it effective?
· What setup is required?
· Do you have any tips?
Background; I have a bone marrow cancer and cannot bruise any bones. The cancer will possibly migrate to the bruised area and grow. My Springfield slipped from my shoulder last May during a Military match and bruised my jaw. The impact was discovered in August, cancer in my right rear lower molar, worked with dentists and doctors, root canal and crown, was told not to shoot for a time, and I am just now released to shoot only low-recoil loads.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
