Rifle Recoil Management- HOW TO TRAIN IT!

[@dtomamerican3471]

Good stuff....my main issue I'm working through is not having my support (left hand) pulling down and left as I anticipate recoil. Mainly my second shot. Working on mentally locking in my pressures and staring at a spot on the target

[@supermario5]

Its insane how detailed yet simple your videos are. Thank you so much!

[@charlesludwig9173]

Military training identifies it as a need for consistent recoil resistance. It’s important to maintain aim until the bullet clears the bore. The way to get consistent recoil resistance is to build a position with bone/artificial support that is muscularly relaxed and has had natural point of aim adjusted properly. Be sure to follow through to be able to call the shot. This video is spot on about it.

This was a great informative video with suggestions to try or consider!

[@is-nv1lu]

Good info and tips to explore for yourself. Looking forward to your next one.

[@tgreer8396]

Excellent video!

Great video brother 👊

[@defteo4370]

Really good info, and well conveyed. Thx!

Hey Nick, have been watching your videos for a while now. Especially the rifle recoil management tips on doubles. I've been practicing doubles often on the last several range sessions. At 40-50 yards, I always thought a good place to be was hitting all A zones at that distance for doubles. What would should the split times be if so? At 20:21 , you say doubles at 40 yards, it is normal to expect some charlies. Is it unrealistic to expect all alphas at 40-50 yards? I was pushing myself for all alphas but getting to that point isn't always consistent. I am mostly getting alphas with some charlies with a split time of .20 to .24 seconds. What would you say a good goal would be at this distance? Thanks for all you do!

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@Jdeez19 dude it sounds like you’re crushing it honestly. All alphas is great at those distances and split times.

[@bdubs1543]

Really helpful thank you.

Great video!

Great video, fantastic. Ty!

Great information

[@vaas-one]

Super valuable!

[@Whycantisee]

Currently running an A2 and want to switch to a 3 prong for the added training benefit. What is that flash hider you have at 21:00?

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@Whycantisee it’s from quite bore. But any 3 prong will work.

[@Whycantisee]

@@VeloxTrainingGroup I just think that one looks cool lol. Thanks for putting out all this good info!

[@veovius]

Does your firing shoulder shrug get fatigued after a while? Does that affect your mount? I could see the shrug going from 100-30-60% as you said about other muscle pressure.

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@veovius no I don’t feel fatigue in my shoulder when I shrug it up. You have to get the gun to the eye target line somehow and to me, lowering my head to the gun isn’t the move.

[@dtomamerican3471]

@veovius also work the shrugging technique a lot in dry practice, possibly before you hit live fire. While staring at a spot on whatever target to build in that skill

[@2015roel]

Muzzle breaks help too.

[@Officercake]

@@2015roelno, it’s illegal to use attachments that will actually help you

[@johnl-cz2qg]

@@Officercake That's funny! Good one!

[@stephenlopez5497]

How important is it to try to get square with the gun? In other words, square up your shoulders with the target.

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@stephenlopez5497 I actually stay relatively bladed.

[@jamesfischer4813]

What if our shoulders and traps are way bigger than yours?

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@jamesfischer4813 nothing would change.

[@Badmandesigns]

Oh yeah secret sauce

[@FiringLineShooting]

I would have liked to see talk about how to actually mitigate recoil. This really just talked about how to see what you are doing wrong and how big a group should be. The title led me to believe we would be talking more about hand position and pressure.

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@FiringLineShooting hey man! Almost the entire video was about hand positions and the types of pressures that are advantageous to a predictable behaving rifle. Which is what it’s all about.

[@14Adam141]

Just like pistol shooting, you’re not trying to control or mitigate recoil. What you’re doing is manipulating the firearm in a way that allows you to consistently return your aiming system to the point on a target you are looking at. Bearing down, pulling or anything like that may help with felt recoil, but causes inconsistent inputs into the rifle. That input is what causes inconsistent shot placement and sight return, among other things.

[@FiringLineShooting]

@@14Adam141 I'm not going to argue those points, but they are very debatable topics. You are unarguably right that the gun returning to POA consistently is essential.

[@Officercake]

genuinely don't think this video accurately represents the pro's of having the rifle higher in your shoulder with a higher optics mount and telling people to not put attachments on their rifle that will actually help them makes no sense. Making a counter video as we speak.

[@johnl-cz2qg]

Agreed! Raising your shoulder up is just plain stupid! It's unnatural and makes it a lot harder to have a relaxed natural point of aim. You should be pushing your shoulder in and not up! Also if you had a high riser and a cheek riser you wouldn't have to lift your shoulder up. I also agree that not putting attachments on your rifle to help you shoot makes no sense and is even idiotic!!! I think every AR should be tuned if it needs it.

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@johnl-cz2qg by all means, make a video of showing us how it’s done.

[@VeloxTrainingGroup]

@@Officercake looking forward to it.

[@Officercake]

@@VeloxTrainingGroup do you have somewhere I can DM you, I’ll send you the video first before it’s public.

@@Officercake post it.
