Default RE: Recoil Management Training..

The biggest problem I see with "recoil management" is that "new" shooters get a .22, slap a scope on it and shoot decent groups at 50 yards. They graduate to something larger, perhaps a 270, shoot decent groups (usually by accident) and deem their "skills" sufficient to shoot a real gun. When shooting a larger caliber, the results are predictable and usually painful. If lucky, scope bite, etc, if not, separated shoulders, detached retina etc. I don't see alot of people shooting a 22 that fits them, much less a larger caliber. The most important part of recoil management is GUN FIT, and the second is training by a qualified individual. Shooting the big boys is ENTIRELY different than shooting a .30-06. Over on AR, there are dozens of guys shooting the 600OK, which generates 250 ft/lbs of recoil!!! That is a bit more than the 18 ft/lbs from the '06. You can't learn the techniques on your own, or from the internet. Make sure your firearm is set up for YOUR body and get instruction from a professional.
