i enjoy recoil pads!The stock Mark made me a few years ago, allows me to shoot comfortably no matter the weather. Has never been fun being a boney guy when it came to shooting firearms without padding.

Yes, a crossbow has forward recoil same as an air rifle.
Umm, no it doesn't. The limbs and the arrow move forward, so the bow moves back. And an air rifle doesn't have forward recoil either.

We've had at least 2 first-timers trying crossbows in the store who didn't know enough to keep their eyes well back of the scope and needed minor first aid to stop the bleeding.
