Recoil

According to all the reading and research my wife's done. They say eat straight meat, carnivore diet.

Its not really that bad. I'm 71 and its just little things that I forget. And I actually intake more meat than veggies. Which I know I should eat more often. Doc gave me cholesterol meds but I never took them.

Yes, and moderate amounts of fish with the skin. Cartilage and connective tissue, which normally we discard, is good too. I have been grinding my venison as it comes from the animal for a few years now. Anywho, since the most primitive firearms were basically barrels, would that make the stock an attachment TO the barrel, and not viceversa? Just curious

Anyway, reason I posted this question is I was pondering the physics of muzzleloaders. I've been shooting them over 10 years and just took them for granted. Just the basics. Loading, shooting, disassembly, cleaning and oiling. Minor repairs if needed.
Then I started thinking and curious George got into my head. Especially the upwards motion upon firing. What does that do to the wedge? Actually the upwards motion is caused by the body and/or hand and arm. Right ?

I don't notice the recoil in a MLer. Probably because I'm focused on the target.
Shooting offhand vs bench ,bench I'll notice some recoil because I'm in more of a fixed position.
Recoil doesn't bother me.
I have a 06 Ackley , bench shooting if not set up correctly then the recoil bites a bit.

Yes I have, me. But that was due to forgetfulness. I think I'm starting to get old timersness.

I like that word. Oltimersness.
