Main topic:

Bad side-effects of recoil: Flinching FIX: Man up, practice, mental toughness, discipline, fundamental instruction, & dry-fire practice. Dummy rounds and taking control. Fear (causing poor cartridge selection) Examples: 6.5 & .243 for elk. .243 for mule deer. FIX: Recoil is a small price to pay to send a bigger hammer downrange. Fear (causing use of muzzle brakes) Breaks good for: Spotting own impacts Breaks bad for: Hearing, and all companion Best FIX of all: Suppressors Second-best FIX: Pick tough, controlled-expansion bullets that punch above their weight/diameter/energy class. Wrap: Final thought.
