Gents,
I would really like to hear a detailed discussion about carbine recoil management. There's plenty of that out there about pistols, with folks going full geek about all the little nuances and subtleties there. I get that, have applied it, and am satisfied.
But carbines...not so much. Yes, assume a semi squared up athletic stance, spread your base out front to back/side to side, favor forward leg, enough weight forward bias.
I don't get to shoot a lot of rounds through a 5.56. And its all through stock M4s...so no compensators.
With a pistol, I get plenty of practice, but basically believe that I can just hold the gun high and grip hard, and that alone can minimize recoil, speed recovery.
With a rifle, gripping hard pulling the gun back into the shoulder hard doesn't seem to matter much (after a point). I can't tell much difference between pull-pull (pulling with both hands, ala Mike Pannone), push-pull (Rob Haught shotgun technique), pull and let support hand grip/hang (Frank Proctor). Haven't experimented enough with stock placement (more towards center chest, or out towards pocket and more bladed), high/or low stock placement. I'm getting more dot movement than I'd like, and too slow recovery.
Unfortunately, I don't get a lot of rounds to figure this out, and I don't want to burn in too many bad reps in dryfire if I'm going to radically change my technique.
Anyway, Surf, SeanM, etc...any thoughts on this? Especially for us poor schmucks using issue M4s, Aimpoints, PEQ-15s. FWIW, I'm 5'5", 155 lbs and strong.
Thanks in advance
James
