how much kick

The curved butt plate is designed to be shot on the arm not on the shoulder!! Put the toe of the stock in your arm pit. Lower your powder charge to keep the recoil down. Better accuracy and less recoil.

LOL. I've been shooting and hunting with these things about twenty years now, I think I already done figured out how to hold one to shoot it. And I've run every concievable combo of load and bullet through this Hawken and that's what it likes for accuracy. Good hunting load too, I've killed a pile of deer with it.

Bet it didn't take ya no where near 20 years to figure out how to shoulder it either.
