The Science of Recoil - Part 2: Getting Behind the Rifle

[@johnorr4866]

Thank you. You are a skilled communicator. I had muzzle rise when going out to 385 yards. I had thought precision required jamming the rifle butt into my shoulder. Not according to Part 1.

Contrary to this, when you shoot what I call "proper" target rifle off a sling, you are taught to line up at 15° or so to the left (for a right handed shooter). This is so that the recoil is absorbed all the way down your right leg which is bent up towards your right elbow and is what's taking the weight of your body. It also helps get the rifle up over your left arm which is what's taking the weight of the rifle.

the blading off is sometimes because the stock is too long.

Fantastic stuff. Subbed!!

It may be covered in part 3- One thing I was taught when shooting prone is the position can change the poi due to the micro second that the barrel moves before the projectile leaves the muzzle. This a common factor in why folks can not shoot small groups consistently.

How does surface softness affect recoil. For example, shooting at a caribou in soft tundra compared to shooting a Dall sheep in hard rimrock country. Would shooting from a pack be more consistent recoil because of more consistent shooting surface compared to the bipod on soft tundra/hard rimrock?

So much do you pull the rifle in your shoulder?

[@EbrahimOO-kk9qd]

Don't you have a new movie?

Part3???

[@TwoMinutestoTarget]

Hi Dirk, I've got Part 3 mostly done. I'm just waiting on the weather to allow me to get out for some video of shots. Hopefully this weekend I'll get the video, then it'll be a few days after that.
