and one more
Shooting stance is another major cause of felt recoil. If you are on a bench and leaning forward where the gun is shouldered on-top the the shoulder area you will feel way more recoil than if you were sitting staight up where your shoulder can flex with the shot of the gun. When Standing, felt recoil is even less usually as well, because your whole body takes the hit.
