most of the people that i know that can' t take recoil well are those who don' t hold the gun right.

are you sure that you' re holding the gun tight against your shoulder? you should be pulling the gun into your shoulder so it' s really firm and tight and the butt of the gun should be centered on your shoulder.

when target practicing allot of guys don' t hold the gun tight and when it kicks back against the shoulder it' s like getting kicked by a mule. if you hold it tight your shoulder will " give" and be thrust back evenly with the gun reducing the felt recoil.

next time your shooting pull the gun as tight as you can against your shoulder and pull the trigger and see how it feels.

just my 2 cents.
