How to Shoot the Shockwave w/ Demonstrated Concepts

Published on May 28, 2022
Duration: 23:14

This video details advanced shooting techniques for stockless shotguns like the Mossberg Shockwave, focusing on maneuverability in confined spaces. It covers the 'cheeking' method for aiming with red dots, proper stance, recoil absorption through body mechanics, and grip stabilization using straps and torque. The instruction emphasizes biomechanical efficiency for consistent accuracy under stress.

Quick Summary

The 'cheeking' technique allows stockless shotgun users to aim with red dots by bringing the gun to eye level. This enables a compressed shooting position, effectively shortening the firearm while maintaining accuracy. Proper recoil management involves using body mass and muscle tension, not just arm strength.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'cheeking' technique for stockless shotguns?

The 'cheeking' technique involves bringing the firearm to eye level, allowing the shooter to utilize a red dot sight without a traditional stock. This enables a more compressed shooting position, making the gun effectively shorter while maintaining a consistent point of aim.

How can recoil be managed effectively with a Mossberg Shockwave?

Recoil management relies on muscle tension and using the body's 'cushy' surfaces. By flexing the bicep and tricep to create a firm 'pillow' against the ribs, the shooter uses body mass to dissipate energy, rather than solely relying on arm strength.

What is the benefit of a squared-up stance when shooting a Shockwave?

A squared-up stance, with toes, knees, hips, and shoulders pointed at the target, provides a stable platform. Tucking the fire-control arm prevents the 'chicken wing' effect and stops the gun from punching the shooter in the face during recoil.

How does 'torqueing' improve shooting stability with a Shockwave?

Torqueing involves applying opposing rotational pressure between the hands, similar to wringing a towel. Combined with pushing forward against a hand stop, this creates a highly stable shooting platform, crucial for rapid and accurate follow-up shots.
