Rifle Recoil Control

[@rytacarms]

So far, you’re the only other person that has explained it the way, Rick at Achilles heel tactical teaches it

[@SpecTrain]

I think Rick and I probably look at it a touch differently, but I'm definitely not the only guy that thinks of it this way. If you watch any of the top performance rifle shooters in the world they look pretty similar to what I'm doing here. It's a mystery why the tactical guys are doing something so different. I suspect it will be like the pistol game where the tactical crowd held onto weaver long after the performance shooters had moved on.

Love your work! Which VG6 do you run on that rifle?

[@IkeStarnes40]

Very nice!

I always have a problem with blading off. Do you twist your hips and lock it in place so that your belly button is facing the target? Almost like throwing a right cross.

[@SpecTrain]

Actually no, not at all. As with any technique it has to work all the time, including on the move, no way to move while maintaining that kind of tension. Imagine standing facing the target with empty hands. No tension is required to keep the hips and shoulders square. Now simply lift the rifle into position without moving anything else. If you feel like you are forced to turn it's usually one of two things. 1. Placing the stock too far out on the shoulder. Remember, place the stock right below your eye so you don't need to blade or crane your neck to see your sights. 2. Grabbing the hand-guard too far forward towards the muzzle. If you set your grip super far forward, your support hand literally can't reach unless you rotate the support side shoulder forward. Try lifting the rifle into place with just your firing hand with your support hand hanging relaxed, then without letting anything else move just lift your support hand up and see where it lands. We get all this squared away pretty quick in our carbine classes!

@@SpecTrain such an amazing explanation, I will definitely try the lifting the gun up with the firing hand then get the support hand involved. Also, when I bring the gun closer to my chest to be under my eye i feel like the butt stock rests to low on my chest and collar bone and I have to crane my head, maybe im pushing it too much in that case?

[@SpecTrain]

@@nono559 The stock feeling low is okay. More structure behind the gun is better. However if you don't have a high optic mount you may still have to lower your head onto the gun somewhat. In this case the stock placement becomes a compromise between getting structure behind the gun vs. head position. Just slide the stock vertically up and down until you find that balance. Fire doubles from a few different variations and see how it impacts your dot movement.

@@SpecTrain i did forget to mention I only have iron sites. Thank you so much for your help

[@SpecTrain]

Well.... should probably fix that with a quickness haha. Doesn't need to be anything crazy, especially to start. Vortex Crossfire II with mount is $135 on Amazon. Lifetime incredible warranty.

so damn good

[@hoot1141]

Pretty disingenuous here. Of course the gun is jumping around when the toe of the stock is in your collar bone. You’re not applying the fundamentals! That’s being disingenuous.

[@gunnierunner1]

He did the same with the whole stock in his shoulder.
