The more tense we are, the more kick we receive (again, fighting recoil versus controlling it).Īnother common believe is, recoil happens when the projectile(s) leave the barrel, not while traveling down the barrel, but I disagree. Larger difference is due to gun fit and mount when shooting, which in turn effects how the gun kicks. The muzzle velocity and weight of slug and shots are similar, therefore they have similar muzzle energy (no more than 30% different) at the time they exit the barrel, and therefore they must also have similar counter-reaction to that energy (the recoil). That makes sense from physics standpoint. Otherwise, I couldn't notice the difference. It's noticeable only when I shoot one after the other. I don't feel any difference in the recoil between target load and 00 buckshot no matter how hard I try to differentiate, but I can feel a bit more recoil with the slug. The difference in felt recoil of target load vs 00 buckshot vs slug with this gun is not as big as people often claim with other guns. It doesn't do more damage, doesn't hurt, but it's felt a lot more than when shooting clay. You're relax, aiming at the center of paper, holding your breath as you pull the trigger slowly, then BOOM it kicks you. The enjoyable recoil when shooting clay is felt too massive when patterning that gun. The difference in "felt recoil" is a night and day with the same gun, same load when patterning on the bench. You rush to shoot flying clay pigeon and you see that target burst at the same time you feel the kick on the shoulder, that feels good. When I shoot clay targets, the recoil is enjoyable and it's no fun without it. The "felt recoil" is more psychological than physical. But if I don't fight the recoil, my eyes stay focus and no sore shoulder after continuous shooting over 100 rounds, not even a little bit. If I press the stock hard against my shoulder, I'd get disoriented for few seconds after the shot. And letting the gun slides back means less muzzle jump and less slamming on the cheek. Soft recoil pad absorbs the slam and turns it into a push that's more gentle. That's true for older gun with no recoil pad, but it's the opposite for synthetic stock with thick recoil pad. The common believe of felt recoil is it's more gentle when we press the stock firmly against the shoulder to make it pushes rather than slamming. When shooting, rest your arm to lean forward on the forearm instead of pulling it firmly toward shoulder. Strategy #1: A comfortable way to shoot lightweight tactical shotgun that also improves accuracy: Control the recoil instead of fighting it by letting the gun moves rearward to prevent muzzle jump. Predict its path from different stations. Shoot before it reaches front sight (trailing becomes leading shot). Wait until it reaches peak and starts descending, which then moves toward the front sight. Granted that I stand next to the thrower instead of 16 yards behind the trap machine as in normal trap, but it works in normal trap too (I've tried, it's more difficult). My trap shooting strategies to hit clay targets consistently with tactical shotgun and it works.
