So here is the situation, we have a young man who shot his first deer up at camp last year, he was planning on hunting again this year. But... he flipped his dirt bike in August and cracked 4 vertebrae. Now he is in a back brace and his dad says he can't take much if any recoil. So now my question.
Is there a product on the market that can hold a gun (similar to a lead sled) that would be able to be taken into the woods and set up in such a way the kid can still aim the rifle but not have recoil?

A good muzzle brake can reduce recoil by a very noticeable amount. I recommend Holland Quick Discharge brakes. My 7STW with a Holland brake is soft enough my 13yr old can shoot it

How about something light recoil, .223 - .22-250 or .243 with the right bullet.

I have a 243 for him but his dad is nervous to set his progress back. I'll look into a bog pod never heard of it.
Edit, looks like the bog pod doesn't reduce recoil. I may be wrong.

A mercury recoil reducer in the stock and reduced recoil cartridges will also reduce recoil.

my dad uses 300blk out pistol he does not shoulder it he puts the buffer tube up to his cheek , he doesn't turkey neck with his neck as it has a double fusion so he stands up right places the buffer tube to his cheek takes aim and squeezes off a round shot 2 decent bucks with it that way.in the 3 years he has used it since 2015 when he got rear ended on the way to deer camp. before that I think he just avoided shooting hadn't shot deer in years.
a 223 semi auto with a muzzle break has almost no recoil , he will get more jostled riding in a car on WI roads , let dad shoot it first to see how little recoil there is and no you don't need to put it to the shoulder even, he is not 18 so he needs to use it as a rifle , just leave the stock collapse in.
try some deer season xp or American white tail ammo for the 223. you need good shot placement but it will kill deer you may not get an exit wound with some ammo unless you know someone or have a 300blk
223/5.56 ARs are generally fairly easy to find
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
