Sometimes I think that small light people actually get less bruised by recoil because they have less mass, they go along with the recoil instead of stopping it.


Another proven recoil tamer is making the gun heavier. Drill a hole behind the butt plate and put lead there.

This picture is me shooting a muzzleloading 8 gauge shotgun at a trap target. This gun is surprisingly comfortable to shoot because it weighs about 12 pounds.
