Jerry Miculek on recoil control.

The best speed shooter in the world, Jerry Miculek, teaching recoil control.

Pay special attention to angling your elbows outward and locking your wrists so that when the unavoidable recoil happens, it just sort of vibrates the whole arm rather than forcing the elbows or wrists to “break” and bend upward. As you work to compensate when your elbows or wrists bend, you’ll not only have a lot of up and down movement, but you’ll end up with a lot of side to side movement.

So lock those wrists and point those elbows out like he says.
