Slow motion video showing recoil of a Black Powder revolver
The effect of recoil on
the arm and wrist of this shooter can be clearly seen even in this low
resolution sequence. The amount of waving
about and bending of the arm is very noticeable. In this sequence he is using a
two-handed grip on the gun but if he had being shooting single-handed, things
would have been even more unstable. However it is often not possible to have a free choice,
due to the wording of competition rules. The total time taken for this sequence
was just under half a second, see also the sequence as a
series of still photographs.
