Recoil?

[Wrench]

I'd love to argue you about how it happens, happened and gets fixed...and how your brake and cartridge are not the only ones in existence.

But I won't.

Is the question here if more recoil is affecting you via flinch or whether the extra recoil can be managed so you can spot your shot (for a follow up)? Some of the responses of not feeling the recoil when shooting an animal are irrelevant to me. The key is being able to spot your hit/miss. It is simply much more difficult with a big caliber and a light gun.

With a few years of NRL/PRS competitions, I now ADD weight to my hunting rifles so I can better spot shots.

You might think you dont feel recoil when shooting at game but it definitely effects your ability stay on target, spot your hits, and make follow up shots

Not as much as adrenaline does.

In 47 years of hunting with guns, I have yet to notice the recoil of any firearm when shooting at live game. So I guess I can't be of much help on this specific question.

I do notice recoil at the bench when I'm trying not to screw up a decent group though.

Came in to post this. I can't say that I've ever felt recoil while shooting at an animal no matter the position I'm in. I had a 300 Wby that punished me on the bench though. I don't miss so don't need to spot my shot.
