Wow. As I’m both a practicing mechanical engineer and competitive shooter this is perhaps the ABSOLUTE BEST technical breakdown series of recoil management techniques and how forces decompose on the shooter. MORE VIDS LIKE THESE PLEASE!

These videos were so helpful in helping me understand my mistakes. This explained exactly some of the recoil issues I've been having.

Clear, concise and to the point! Good job!!

Awesome. After I watched all 3 videos about recoil, I came back to previous ones just to hit like button on every video 😀

This was really fun!! Before this video I was watching a guy say that the friction the bullet has on the lands, and the right hand twist makes your gun jump forward and twist to the right, which made no sense. I'm glad to know at least someone is putting out good logical information.

Excellent! Nice to see actual at-the-range results!

Finally something useful! Thank you so much. Great work. This helped me to correct something about my shooting I was doing wrong and having constant fliers to the left.

Great video guys....keep em coming!

Great demomstration and information.Im so glad Isawthis in shoulder tension.Growing up was always taught to hold it tight.Since Ive been shooting prone now Ive seen its so correct to hold it tight.Thanks

Wow. This is the video(s) I've spent days looking for on managing my recoil for PRS shooting. Really appreciate the work you put into this. I think I've found the answer to my problem and the best possible solution. Thank you!

Excellent videos. Looking forward to the trigger guidance.

Awesome content man! Loving the videos!

Excellent videos, subject very well explained and super clear in understanding, thank you for this quality, Sportingly

Really cool. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

This is all interesting information, well done, and seemingly scientifically accurate. Except for one thing at the end...... You came to the conclusion that windage movement could not occur because the bullet is not in the barrel long enough. So tell how it is in the barrel long enough to see elevation movement, but not long enough to see windage movement? Is the bullet not in the barrel the same length of time when considering this phenomenon? How can it be long enough to move one way, but not long enough to move the other? I have 2 precision rifles, that WILL, without a doubt, see significant movement to the left (right shooter) if I have my shoulders non-parallel as you show/describe in these videos. One of them will see a bunch, like 2-3" at 100yds. So I can tell you that your conclusion here is incorrect. As a fellow engineer, I think I must point out to you that you attempted to come to a conclusion about a general phenomenon while having a data set of one. Even you must admit that this is a flawed conclusion when following a scientific process. It would have been accurate for you to say that, in this one instance, with this one rifle, with this one shooter doing these specific things, these were the results. But that is not what you did, you instead made a generalized statement that improper position will not affect windage accuracy. I can 100% guarantee you, and prove to you, that your generalized statement on this subject is incorrect.

Interesting video. Great job!

Thoughts and a rigid mount rest, such as a fixed rest with an arca mount holding the rifle solid, not allowing movement vertical or horizontal.

Enjoying these. Thank you

Great videos. From my experience the mass of the rifle and possibly CG height relative to bore axis are more important than how the shooter resist the recoil. Back to your soft spring analogy the rifle has to move pretty far to get any meaningful force from someones shoulder and by that time the bullet has left the barrel. Common in PRS is free recoil shooting( not using the shoulder) on certain obsticals. I have not noticed a POI change on steel at 400+ yds but will soon be test on paper at 100.

Great series of videos! I wonder if the same principles would apply when shooting a rifle while standing.

Thank you so much.

Excellent: turned a few light bulbs on for me. Thank you.

Great videos. Thanks,

I how you do more videos - best presentation I’ve every seen

Bravo, Excellent video. You got my subscription 👍

Good stuff!!!

Your Video was published in really popular FaceBook Page (Professional) in Ukraine :) Great!

golden contents, how can we support you for more of these?

is it possible the "not so much" lateral movement is because by holding the rifle, your forearm, upper arm, and rifle stock formed a triangle that stabilized the rifle from horizontal movements? Maybe you can try two sets of experiments one with a very loose grip another one with a tight grip

If it's not affected horizontally because it spent so less time in the barrel, wouldnt the same apply for affecting the shot vertically?

Great videos! Also, did you test or notice if a hard shoulder, or fixed mount, will give higher bullet velocity?

Great mini series on recoil. I wonder how this affects how you pick and kit up your chassis/stock. For example, does this back up the trend in going with heavy rifles for PRS matches or can better fundamentals mean a relatively lighter rifle will work just as well? Is there a strategic way to put weight on the rifle (back heavy, center balanced, or front heavy)? Lastly, in regards to a soft shoulder, i wonder if there is a good recoil pad that can help with consistency (maybe a springier pad).

Didn’t my busters prove that recoil is only after the bullet has left the barrel ?so recoil doesn’t affect shot placement

Two minutes, I hope you don’t mind but I spread the word of your vids on instagram. Great work thank you. 😎👍🏽

I do not understand, while watching ultra-high speed photography, you can see the bullet completely exit the end of the barrel before there is any discernable movement of the barrel whatsoever. Thoughts?

Technical question: Why is ME so much higher than felt recoil? Say you have an '06 with about 2,800 foot pounds of muzzle energy yet the felt recoil is only around 20 lbs even after taking the weight of the rifle into account - shouldn't they be equal according to Newton? Are they different units of measurement ?

I assume this doesn't apply to short stroke vs DI difference wise?

What do you mean by soft or hard shoulder and how do you make your shoulder soft? I thought you’re suppose to have reward pressure in to your shoulder? I’m a novice shooter and these terminologies are all new to me.

So the first two videos I get it, shoot in position perpendicular to your rifle and using soft shoulder. Does the 3rd video mean soft shoulder is more important than the perpendicular shooting position to your rifle? And when you load your bipod from behind the rifle, do you mean we also need to do the same way like this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5uYqdBi2cioqZs.html ? Not sure how to keep a soft shoulder when you need to push the stock forward to load the bipod, just relax the shoulder muscle but still push forward?

Weird! Your horizontal dispersion in all shots are almost the same! Your first group has a huge vertical and horizontal flier.....hmm!

Bullet leaves the barrel in less than 10 milliseconds. There are also three recoil states during firing. Check your physics mate: you'll find the first explosion of the catridge causes very little (if any) force on the platform. Check it mate...
