Thread: Managing recoil for a rookie shooter

"The other thing is the physics of firing the rifle - E=MC2 in other words thanks Einstein. For us, the heavier the pill and bigger the case combined with the lighter the rifle the more recoil we feel. Or, the lighter and slower the pill with a heavy rifle - the less recoil we feel. Increasing the weight of the firearm reduces the recoil, all other things being equal."

Yep, try taking the recoil pad off and shove a sock full of lead shot into the stock. That will help.
