Default RE: Recoil Management Training..

I really can't see this managing recoil, all its going to do is identify a flinch. The body is affected by recoil. Anyone that says they can shoot all day long with no affect by recoil is full of crap.

Recoil is punishing, the body does not like it. Just like reloading, you need to work yourself up slowly, if you push it too hard too fast, you induce flinching. Take it slow and shoot more here and there, either increasing the recoil or number of rounds fired.

If you keep telling yourself don't flinch, don't flinch, don't flinch, guess what will happen? You will flinch. Work on basic fundamentals and shooting technique. Shoot the big boomers offhand. Your body will rock with the recoil and it will not be as bad as sitting at the bench.

Recoil is only part of the cause of flinching, muzzleblast and noise can also lead to flinching. Some of the bird cage muzzlebrakes can cause flinching when the pressure wave hits the shooter. It's different and not something that everyone is used to.

Remember, start low and work your way up.
