"Roll with the punch" .. thanks, that's the phrase / image I was looking for but couldn't think of. Sort of "ride the recoil" instead of "getting slammed by the recoil".
I have noticed that most shooters when introducing new shooters all seem to tell them to pull the rifle in "tight" to the shoulder...I have also noticed that it tends to rattle their teeth when they do so.
Not sure if it is malicious or simply uninformed.
For myself I rest the rifle against my shoulder and move with it rather than stand solid.
