The Science of Recoil - Part 1: Your Shoulder and Recoil

- In this first of the three-part The Science of Recoil series, we look at forces that act on you and your rifle during a shot, and depict how you can own your recoil by controlling what you do with your shoulder. The video gets fairly technical, but I've always felt that
WARNING: This video goes well over the self-imposed three-minute limit for these videos! But there's too much to go over in just three minutes - so it's more than double.
You’ve taught me more in 7mins than everyone has in years of shooting.
Thank you
Thanks for the comment
That's ridiculous...
Ridiculously clear and ridiculously well explained. I've learned more in these 3 videos than on the 20+ others I've watched about positionning and recoil management. Great content mate !!!
The fact that you showcase the practical effects in end of the video makes it all come together. Thanks.
Wow. Outstanding. Can’t wait for episode 3.
Excellent! This explains my problem with muzzle jump. i'm going to watch the other two videos and go to the range. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks Barry!
Wow. This explains why my rifle has been jumping up and to the side so badly. I put a much heavier wood stock on it, went from 7.5 lbs to 13 lbs. I think I was shooting soft shouldered by instinct when it was lighter because of how much impulse was being transferred into my shoulder. Once I got a heavier stock, it wasn't as sharp so I brace up too much. Also didn't know about the shoulders being in line behind the rifle. Thanks dude, subbed, and going to watch the other videos.
If you want to get better at managing recoil, going heavy will actually do the opposite. When I shoot my 6 BRA for any extended amount of time without shooting one of my more heavy recoiling rifles, my fundamentals go to crap. It's one of the reasons I have a lighter, short-barreled 308 for practice - it makes dealing with wind and recoil a little tougher, which in turn makes you better.
WOW! Excellent! I was going to comment you can see this effect at the range with anyone shooting from a lead sled = barrel jump, but you end showing this in your video. EXCELLENT!
Quality content mate! Love your work 👍
Just found this channel...great stuff keep the videos coming 👍🏻
Thanks Steven - the next one is pretty interesting. It's on lining up behind the rifle and the impacts of not doing so correctly.
You just solved a major problem I developed. Thanks
How do you become a spring?
Very well done & carefully thought out. Kudos.
This is a good video to explain what happens, mechanically speaking. The only thing that is not exactly right, and is probably not highlighted for simplicity, is that the forces applied to the rifle occur at the breech, and not the muzzle. It technically only matters significantly if you are trying to calculate exact center of rotation, but it does matter. Feel free to contact Me if your interested in expanding, and applying these principles to rifle configuration considerations.
Does the gas leaving the barrel offer a bit of force?
@@6foot7dad ,some but very little. You ever fired blanks?
@@Kahntrol not in a bolt rifle
Fantastic video clear and articulate thanks !!
What about with rifles with extreme recoil such as .338 rum? I cant imagine soft shouldering this rifle without a muzzle brake.
Mass and Velocity. But I get your point.
So what is better?
Putting a bipod at the center off gravity on the rifle OR putting the bipod to the front off the stock as much as possible?
This becomes a geometry equation now. First off, you will get small vertical movement in the stock from recoil pushing it into the rear bag, rear support, whatever. Second, the fulcrum point is going to be the bipod. The closer the movement is to the fulcrum point, the larger the angle will be. So, pushing the bipod farther forward with make the angle the rifle rotates smaller. There is a practical limit, of course, which has everything to do with the lengths of your arms and when you need to make adjustments to the bipod. I put the bipod out as far as I can where I can still reach it. EXCEPTION: For my Phoenix bipod, which is adjusted with a worm gear, I put it farther out and I use a PVC pipe to turn it for adjustments. I don't always do this, though, because, though it works, it's a bit of a pain.
@@TwoMinutestoTarget thanks for the advice man, I appreciate it.
You also got those more expensive bipods in a sort off U form so the rifle is ‘cradled’ in more and also lowering the center off gravity, or those mounting systems to attach them to the side off the stock also reducing that center off gravity….
For now i will put my bipod as far forward as i can.
I also seen your other clips on to positioning behind the rifle and how to handle recoil.
I found that if i let the rifle do the work and let it recoil freely in to my shoulder without any tensioning it in to my shoulder or preloading the bipod at all works best for me, buts that’s personal usage offcourse….
Greets.
Good stuff 👍🏽👍🏽
What do you do when shooting a pistol ? You use a loose grip ?
Guys, how do you respond to the fact that the bullet leaves the barrel before the recoil cycle has even travelled back to the shooter? Every single high-speed frame rate camera shows the bullet leaving the barrel BEFORE the recoil phase has created momentum in the platform. This means that you should focus on being consistent during the trigger pull and maintain form ONLY to be able to see POI and be in a good position to do a follow up shot. ua-cam.com/video/O6_aYXY3V7s/v-deo.html
but why there is kick in the barrel side ?
how come I only find this after weeks of searching
Can you speak to properly shooting off a tripod? How that effects recoil
Интересно. Спс
My shoulder turned to pudding from being so soft
neat, thanks!
I hope that I'm finally understanding physics because I'm 30
and not because it's guns
🤦♂
