[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 2657682, member: 15643"] The majority of the hunters on the OYH&SP deer hunts use a .243 (I bring my 6mm).........so I'd say that the recoil is not an issue for most. They won't feel it at all during the hunt, so making them comfortable while practicing and sighting in is where recoil issues could arise. One young hunter on our youth hunt last month took one shot with the .243......and he was done, he wanted nothing to do with it after the first shot. After about an hour, we convinced him to shoot a .17HMR........then a .223.......and then he finally got comfortable with the .243. He took a doe at 65y the next evening with it. [/QUOTE]
