In addition to the previous postings I add 2 considerations:
1. recoil is worst when you aren't familiar with it- just as a trip seems longest the first time. What I do is start a rifle that has recoil potential with light loads, then work up to full power in several steps and after I have adapted to the recoil at each step.
2. To keep my mind off of the recoil I try to focus on seeing the bullet leave the muzzle and travel to the target. This is similar in concept to being distracted from recoil when shooting at game.
