When you fire a rifle,the recoil kick is introducing you to Newton's Third Law.

If you you don't hold the rifle properly to absorb the recoil in your whole body, the recoil will leave a nasty bruise mark; (mv) recoil = (mv) bullet. You want to minimize the recoil velocity by maximizing the recoil mass=your rifle + your body. Getting the [proper stance and grip will raise the recoil mass the reduce the impact on your body.
