My father is currently going through chemotherapy and has the port installed near his right shoulder.  He has been hesitant to shoot anything more than his Gamo Whisper at the chipmunks on the deck and I know it drives him crazy when I come out to shoot at the parents house.  It also gets him a little depressed because this is something we used to frequently do together, so I don't shoot that often anymore.  

Now that the pity party is over with my question about the lead sled is how much recoil would it absorb from an AR?  He won't be shooting anything bigger than a .223/5.56.  As I stated he doesn't want to mess up his chemo port but I know he wants to shoot and the chemo has been kicking his ass so setting something up on a bench that he can sit at and be comfortable would be awesome.

So I'm just looking for your personal experiences with the lead sleds in whatever variations you may have used.


THanks

Depending on which sled but I'd imagine a couple sand or shot bags and he wouldn't feel a thing

they make them with hooks for the front of the bench= no recoil

you can also just bolt/screw them to the bench.

I use a Lead Slead Solo for sighting in. There is almost no recoil when weighted. On downside is you have to use shorter magazines

Opportunity to practice left handed? Make some real big targets and just blast away for fun?

LOL...I came into the wrong thread.  Slowly backing out, and I feel very old...
