Nicola, don't be sorry, nothing to do with not likeing your opinion, just trying to get you to open your mind!!! Listen, I'm not for one minute trying to say that a forum "opinion poll" is in any way scientific, but it dose, in my opinion, give a feel for general consensus. I'm sure we can all read a novice post and see it for just that, writen by a novice. As for phisical build distorting someones ability to "view" recoil........naw, they would be compairing recoil from cartridge "a" against whatever they percive to be normal, average for what they have experianced, recoil.
