In all the years of shooting I have learned a valuable lesson. Shooting is a lot like flying in the sense that the recoil is a lot like turbulence. If you have a lot of it, you better be a very skilled pilot. Why, because you will be fighting it and correcting for its influence constantly. It can scare you, it will fatigue you and even make you want to call it quits (once you are on the ground of course). It will push all of your senses to the brink of numbness as you yank the joystick to counter act its influence and try to keep the plane on course. If you ask any skilled pilot if they would like to voluntarily go fly in turbulence just for fun, they would look at you like you are absolutely crazy. Yet we voluntarily choose to shoot heavy recoiling rifles. Is this the year to think small caliber? We have had more fired groups submitted this December of thrilled clients shooting crazy impressive groups than ever before. Part of it is skill, but with a multitude of 22 Creedmoors going out the door and the pictures coming back over and over again from those rifles one truth cannot be denied. People shoot lighter recoiling rifles better. Lower recoiling rifles help most people shoot better than they ever dreamed they where capable of. Like flying that plane through silky smooth air with two fingers on the joystick, the plane is easy to control and you are having the time of your like doing it with little to no effort required. If you want to shoot better, get a smaller caliber. This will not only improve your quality of shooting simply because it's just easier to repeat the processes. But it will also put the word fun back in your vocabulary and a smile back on your face. Punishment and suffering the consequences of heavy recoiling rifles hurt more than most realize. Not just in the form of physical pain, but the disappointment of not believing in yourself or your ability to shoot. It's like a pilot coming in after a terrifying flight in turbulence believing that it was his lack of skills that was the problem, not the turbulence he just flew through. Don't just survive shooting, get a small caliber to see what you're truly capable of. You just might surprise yourself and have some pictures to proudly share of your own. https://www.wolfprecision.net/newsletter.html https://www.youtube.com/@wolfprecisioninc Wolf Precision's ACE Rifle System. www.wolfprecision.net Online Long Range Shooting School. https://www.wolfprecision.net/online-long-range-shooting-school.html Patron Support. https://www.patreon.com/user?u=29426128&fan_landing=true&view_as=public
