Main topic:
- Bad side-effects of recoil:
- Flinching
- FIX: Man up, practice, mental toughness, discipline, fundamental instruction, & dry-fire practice. Dummy rounds and taking control.
- Fear (causing poor cartridge selection)
- Examples: 6.5 & .243 for elk. .243 for mule deer.
- FIX: Recoil is a small price to pay to send a bigger hammer downrange.
- Fear (causing use of muzzle brakes)
- Breaks good for: Spotting own impacts
- Breaks bad for: Hearing, and all companion
- Best FIX of all: Suppressors
- Second-best FIX: Pick tough, controlled-expansion bullets that punch above their weight/diameter/energy class.
- Wrap: Final thought.
