I'm a sissified wuss. Most rifles I shoot at .22 rimfire. Occassionally, I bust out the AR, but 9 times out of 10, it's .22LR. I've gotten used to shooting them with fairly relaxed shoulder muscles - not tensing up in anticipation of recoil.
I'm going to man up this week and go to the range with a buddy to shoot some bigger centerfires - a .270, a .30-06 and Mosin 7.62x54R - in preparation for deer season & hog season. Hey - it's early, but gives us a chance to beat the rush. It's been so long since I've done it, I've forgotten -- tense, or not tense the shoulder muscles? Is the recoil more noticed if one tenses up or if one stays relaxed?
Thanks,
