Recoil Happens—So Let It

[Talyn]

Recoil IS going to happen— One can minimize it, but no longer fear it. This mindset shift switches your brain from dread to acceptance, and shoot without dwelling on what you're going to feel.

We spend so much energy worrying about recoil. It’s going to happen, so accept it!

Whats that line from Magnificent 7? "Its not to be shunned but embraced...."

Recoil is mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

I have a Mossberg 835 pump 12 gauge and with 3 1/2 inch turkey loads, yer gonna dread it every shot.

I'd rather live beside someone with a shotgun than own a 835.

Yes. It wasn’t so bad shooting at an actual bird, but those damn paper pattern targets were the worst. 2 1/4 oz of #6 lead is quite a load.

The worst recoil I can remember, was a 577 nitro dbl rifle. It was worse than the 10 bore DBL.

The interesting thing about shotguns of England and the Continental makers was the guns were purposely built for a general class of game and not one gun for everything.

Tell that to my arthritic hands. Especially after a couple of cylinders of 315gr FNGC at 1400fps. Sucks to get old. I sit and wonder if I’m going to be one of the DP’s that carry my FN 502 because it’s the only thing I can work the slide on.

Nothing wrong with owning an 835 . And the over bore at that price point is cool .

Thinking that 12ga 3.5in lead shot loads are a good idea is not .
