[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1487505, member: 30902"] This sounds completely counter intuitive but quit fighting it. Relax your body to the point it just becomes a load spring and shock absorber. Don't let it fly free or you're going to bleed and get a headache, but instead of tensing up to fight the recoil just relax and take it. This works exceptionally well for me from all field positions other than prone and I've even learned to make it work well in the prone after a good deal of practice. I will dig in with my feet and stiffen up to my waste but then allow my upper body to relax and flex to absorb it. Even with my Rum's and .375's this method works very well for me, but it did take a great deal of practice and getting used to after spending a lifetime being trained to man up, lean into it, and fight it.
