Hunters and anglers like to strut around in well-worn gear like they’ve earned a merit badge. Scuffed-up rifle stocks, blood-stained jackets, and threadbare packs usually tell a good story in the rips and stains. Well-earned wear is one thing. Flat-out neglect is another. Worn gear may tell a story, but mildew and battery corrosion just tell on you.Most gear failures don’t start in the woods or on the water.

The operative word here is control. How well you control each phase determines how well you control recoil. Either you control the firing recovery process, or it will control you.
