No, not the magazine or website. Actual recoil. So . . .in the SIG SAUER video below, Moriarty outfoxes Sherlock Holmes. Wait, that’s not it. Let’s try again. In the Tactical Tip video below, SIG instructor Todd Moriarty introduces viewers to the “push pull” shotgun shooting technique. Not only does the isometric exercise strengthen your core it . . .

also reduces recoil. No, not the magazine or the website. Felt recoil.

I’m happy to try any seemingly sensible technique that minimizes a firearm’s muzzle flip, increasing my ability to get the sights back on target quickly. But I’m not all that bothered about recoil per se.

Truth be told, I kinda like it, whether it’s a shotgun or a revolver, but not a precision rifle. For me, shooting a tactical shotgun (I own three) is like controlling a lightning bolt. Ba-BAM!

How about you? Recoil, love it or loathe it?
