Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Whazzup with Recoil?

My father has a patent on parabolic taper hydraulics for constant recoil force during recoil in artillery.
I have a spiel about spreading recoil over time and area so a no point will any skin see more than 20 psi, the threshold of pain.

But no advice is better than than throw other recoil pad brands in the trash and only use Limbsavers. .... not the NItro grind to fit model. It is thick, but the compliance is too low.

Limbsaver Air Tec is unbelievable!

Shame they don’t make them in red

I recently shot a friend's suppressed 6.5c and 223. Being able to see the trace and spot your own hits/misses can not be overrated. Combine low recoil w/ a reticle that allows you to make instant corrections and magic happens.

One summer I got I to sporting clays a bit.
Did some skeet too. All just fun.

When I got my relatively light 300 mag to the bench,
it had never been so pleasant to shoot.

So, get something that bunps you decent, but bearable for 50+ rounds.
Then go shoot 100 or more rounds a week.

Shaman,
When shooting from a bench, I try to transfer as much of the offhand body position as I can. For example from the bench, face your chest and/or chair toward the gun rather than down range.
Arrange the bags so the elbow of your trigger hand is held up high enough to form a shoulder pocket for the recoil, as when you're in the standing position with your elbow at shoulder level.
