Narrative:
On the captain's leg we received a stick shaker on very short final due to a C-130 that executed a practice go-around. The captain landed uneventfully. The threat was the C-130's wake. I believe the captain decided to land due to the aircraft close proximity to the ground and the lengthy runway. At that exact moment I felt like my attention on the aircraft remaining in a state where it was able to make a safe landing was a correct one. I feel that second guessing the captain's decision to land or taking the controls would have been more dangerous due to our proximity to the ground.
