Thread: Managing recoil for a rookie shooter

Not sure if my title is very good but meh. What I want to know is how can I get the most out of my rifles so that I am as accurate as possible.

With my .243 it has quite a bit of kick compared to my .22lr obviously. The snug shoulder fit against the buttstock, steady breathing, no flinching, gentle trigger pull I can understand and somewhat do.

What I don't know is what do I do about the recoil of the centrefire? With my forward hand do I hold the rifle tight and try "fight" the upwards recoil? Or do I "go along" with the recoil? Cheers
