July 2010 Sporting Clays Tip from The Paragon School of Sporting

RECOIL DOESN'T B'..B'..B'..B'..B'..BOTHER ME ONE B'..B'..BIT!

OK, I understand this,.......sort of. Many folks put shotgun aesthetics at the top of their list. No arguments from me. A beautiful shotgun is a joy to behold, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, function and form, making it a delight to hold. Few "tools" deliver anywhere near this level of pride of ownership. I own one for upland hunting. So I do understand,......right up until all those "dynamite" loads take a trap, skeet or sporting clays shooter down with flinching, head lifting, debilitating neck and shoulder problems.

The affects of recoil are cumulative. It's a price we all pay, some more than others by the choices we make. So it's in our own best interests to mitigate recoil every chance we have. First are ammunition choices. Here, Lite loads get it done,....all day,....every day. 2 3/4 dram loads will help you shoot better and do it more consistently.

Try as they might, some just cannot buy into lighter loads. If you are one of those, consider modifying your gun. Some semiautomatic shotguns are a worthwhile alternative. There is a ton of aftermarket solutions to minimize recoil. Adding weight to the gun is a good start. My favorite way to reduce recoil is to add a recoil reducing system to your stock. A good hydraulic system, while not the most aesthetically pleasing, can easily reduce felt recoil by 1/3 and more. That's a lot! For those who place a very high priority on performance consistency and match scores, I recommend the Precision Fit Stock (www.precisionfitstocks.com). Mine has been totally reliable,.....allowed me to fine tune my fit to a very high level of precision,.....and makes time in the box a downright pleasure.

Every shooter I've ever talked to who owned a recoil reduction system in their stock absolutely loves it. If you're like me and so many others who run not hundreds but many thousands of rounds through our guns in a year, do yourself a favor and take a hard look at reducing recoil,.....every way you can. Your performances and your scores will thank you for it.
