That fella should go to every western military and teach them the right way to shoot.

Yeh, as well as the military, people we regularly see on video eg Norway, Greg Duley etc have obviously got it wrong wrong wrong, along with all benchrest shooters (alright, not heavy recoil but same principles of consistency of hold, trigger release, follow thru), F Class shooters, free recoil shooters, by-pod shooters.

Springer air rifle shooter.

Re reading Nathan foster book's conclusion last night, the issue is not do much with heavy rifles but with heavy recoiling light rifles .

Who is dumb enough to expect good results, when trying precision shooting with a light but heavy recoil rifle, without a break or at least a suppressor?

Unfortunately most people that by a modern synthetic rifle or light weight rifle.
Look at for sale threads and the likes, the first question is usually how heavy is it.
Everyone that owns a rifle wants precision don't they...

Who is dumb enough to carry an anvil of a rifle on top of mountain to take just one or two shots...?
The brake or the suppressor makes the shooting more comfortable, but the " primary" recoil that act while the bullet is still in the barrel is the same with or with out the above accessories, and the " secondary" recoil that comes in while the gazes escape the muzzle have no influence on the bullet. It had already left the barrel. ( primary and secondary are part of the same progressive action, I just did not know how to express my idea with exact terms).
Seeing the good number of people who spend money to lighten their rig as much as they can, one has to wonder if they shoot as well or worst than before the rig diet? And if their shooting is not has good, perhaps changing the shooting form or technic might get them back to a satisfying level of accuracy.

I would suggest going along to a small bore range, its pretty cheap and usually in town , so you dont have to travel far.
You can shoot for groups and experiment with sling position or off of sand bags.
You get to do all the basics, breathing control, trigger release, recoil control.
