9mmalpha Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Do you find your self shooting more accurate when you have bigger belly or flat belly? is it true that the bigger the belly the more recoil control you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I really can't comment on the smaller belly...I've always been large! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Huh? I am well on my way to having a mid sized belly and it does seem to help me control my 9 minor loads. In all seriousness, a bigger belly has to hurt in this game because of the mobility factor. Some do it quite well for their size but imagine how well they would do without it. Even they would admit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMoore Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It is called ORMM Organic Recoil Mitigation Material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_gorilla45 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I've noticed no change in recoil management but my movement is much better when my belly shrinks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS101 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 It is a "Tactical Tummy". I have no frame of reference for recoil control, because I have had the Tactical Tummy long before I started shooting However, it does produce a nice angle to the 6 shot shell caddies in 3 gun :ph34r:...

nashvillebill Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I'm pretty sure it decreases draw and reload times if your vest can't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9mmalpha Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 OK I will stop experimenting with TACTICAL TUMMY, Im glad benos forum is here to answer this question, I just cant ask people who has big belly in match they might get offended. I was looking on many GM I noticed that lots of them has that tactical belly and they seem to shoot fast and accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Nesbitt Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Take a case of 9mm ammo. About 30 pounds. Strap it to your waist and run around and shoot. Then take it back off and run around and shoot. Any more questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmap Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Nope. Look at the majority of the Top 16 in Production and Open last year. Most did NOT have a belly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm a little scrawny guy and got my ass kicked by a 260 lb Master class shooter yesterday. I'm thinking it doesn't matter much how big your belly is if you can shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancin Dan Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I used to teach karate with a guy name J.T. Wills he was huge, and he could be on the other side of the room and could be in your face and beating you down before you could blink. I've never seen anyone move that fast before. His belly weighed more than I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 ...has to hurt in this game because of the mobility factor. Some do it quite well for their size but imagine how well they would do without it. Even they would admit that. Yup. I've recognized this as something that will hold me back from advancing farther in my shooting. They say admitting it is the first step... -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aglifter Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 To an extent, if someone's learned to "breathe w. his belly", that would probably help... (It means he would "pooch out" a bit more than people who keep their abdominals rigid.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtorre Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) I agree with the big belly helps, specially if you lean a bit forward... I am shooting 115 round ball 9mm factory stuff, albeit a light load my hands barely move. I thought I was just getting better with my stance, all along my weight problem, which is getting worse with the years was helping. But notice how the bigger waste line makes my mags fall out.. lmao Edited June 28, 2010 by bobtorre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbltapipsc Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I dont think its the size of your belly, but your core strength. Core tends to lend itself to the more flatter side. A strong core helps with your balance and recoil management as well. Just my 2 cents worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Amish 1 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Edited because I realized I have no idea what I'm talking about. Will, you should never ever be discouraged by a complete lack of knowledge on the subject you chose to post on because you were already planted in front of your computer and felt compelled to make an impact on a discussion that is about as supported by fact and science as an argument involving perceived recoil. I for one am not so sure the belly and the weight are so much an issue for me. I think that the tendency of slimmer, trimmer competitors to have better endurance and faster, more explosive movement, often makes the difference. I have noticed that most of the slimmer shooters don't seem to get as exhausted as fast as larger ones in the heat. But, I am sure, someone will be able to prove just the opposite.

Pezco Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I resemble the tactical tummy and love the ORMM acronym. The reality is I know there is no substitute for experience and since I am newer to the game (don't have the experience) I need to improve my odds elsewhere while I gain the experience i.e. less ORMM - Organic Recoil Mitigation Material. I have added weight training this year and guess I'll just have to use my extra strength for recoil control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
