PCP's....kick?

[Gungeek]

This could mean the centre of balance of your rifle is too far to the rear, depending how you hold and shoot it and in what posture, in certain circumstances. Or perhaps your grip or trigger technique could be modified. You sometimes see F.T. shooters have added weight to the front of their rifles. I've added weight to the rear of my EV2, to redress the balance. Just a few thoughts, not saying you're necessarily at fault, or your mate. Regards .... Geek

I've never had any recoil effect on my HW100, I just thought PCPs suffered a little muzzle flip & that's it. Fair enough my HW100 is running at legal limit velocity but if this is the case, surely there would have been some effect. If your rifle is running at getting on rimfire velocity like an FAC Career 707 (80 ft/lbs) then that could be plausible. Still, stranger things have happened. Having said that, if your HW100 is running at FAC velocities, the muzzle flip would be much harsher & the effect of the muzzle rising when the pellet exits the barrel, could give the illusion of recoil. I'd still like to know how that works out though, I love anything technical.
