Recoil Reducing System

[psharon97]

I've seen a few folks talking about these systems as a way to reduce felt recoil. Are these system worth it.

Are you shooting sitting down? prone?
If you shoot standing and recoil with the shot you will feel the kick as much.
If you sitting down or prone just attached those ankle weights for working out to the butt of gun, that should do it at a much lower $$$ amount.

Ok, so what about the OP's question ? I wonder about them myself.

I have not used the mercury type but have had very good results with the mechanical type. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/138587/100-straight-dead-mule-recoil-reducer-fits-stock-bolt-hole-7-8-diameter-x-4-1-4-long I actually spent some trigger time with a local acquaintance testing several mechanical prototypes which he has now patented as the AR A1 recoilless stock. http://www.arrecoilless.net/AR-Recoilless-A1-Butt-Stock-P55.aspx The testing was done with the AR limited to single shot to prevent the buffer spring from interfering with the results of the recoil impulse as recorded on an accelerometer. there were different spring rates and weights used to optimize performance specifically for the .450 BM It really tamed the .450 Bushmaster and turned it from an angry mule to a kitty cat. Very impressive indeed. They don't simply reduce felt recoil but the actual recoil impulse as shown by the graphing done with the aid of the accelerometer.http://www.arrecoilless.net/Recoil-Reducer-Tests-P69.aspx In my opinion they are great products and I know they actually work. Not simply voodoo.

Here's John going full auto with the .450BM at 10 rounds per second. just the fact that he can do this oughta say something about his product.

I have them in two of my 45-70's and yes they do work, but not a whole bunch. I have recoil air reducing stocks on my shotguns and they work very, very well, but you can't use them on a scoped gun and they are VERY expensive !!!!

Your best bet without going to a muzzle break is a good Limbsavers recoil pad. I know Steve Sims very well and he has put a lot of work into that pad, and it works.
