Default Re: Rifle easier to find than .357

Whether standing or prone one thing that might lessen the discomfort of recoil is to make sure you are pulling the rifle firmly into your shoulder. Sometimes people just raise the piece to their shoulder with no pressure at all, so when discharged the recoil compresses tissue suddenly, causing some discomfort. Taking up the slack or pre-compressing this tissue helps to reduce the feeling that the rifle is slamming into your shoulder.
