Best Answer

Pull the rifle firmly into your shoulder. Fire standing rather than prone. Use a recoil pad. Change to a lighter recoiling cartridge.

When you fire a rifle,the recoil kick is introducing you to Newton's Third Law.If you you don't hold the rifle properly to absorb the recoil in your whole body, the recoil will leave a nasty bruise mark; (mv) recoil = (mv) bullet. You want to minimize the recoil velocity by maximizing the recoil mass=your rifle + your body. Getting the [proper stance and grip will raise the recoil mass the reduce the impact on your body.

What kind of force is the backward kick of a rifle after its been shot?

This will vary depending on the cartridge fired, and the weight of the rifle. With a heavy target rifle in caliber 22 LR, it will be barely noticeable. With a light hunting rifle in 30-06 caliber, it can be enough force to be painful. With VERY powerful cartridges, such as the .577 T-Rex, recoil may be enough to knock you down. Recoil is the REACTION to the ACTION of accelerating a bullet down the barrel. The weight and speed of the bullet generate the recoil (heavier, faster bullets = more recoil) , modified by the weight of the rifle- heavier= less recoil.
