I've got three TC Hawken muzzleloaders, my two sons each shoot one, I shoot the third. My brother also owns one. The one I use beats the snot out of my cheekbone when I shoot it. Has anyone ever bent a stock on one of these, or removed the raised cheekpiece portion of the stock to see if that would be a help? To get a decent sight picture, I feel like I need to lean pretty hard over the top of the stock and whoopee, I know I'm gonna get nailed. My brother and sons just laugh, (mostly at my whining and complaining), I however, don't think it's that funny.
Any suggestions or insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry
