I have an opposite ritual. A pistol grip only 12ga. Full of 3"shells. Unload that thing into the berm once or twice rapid fire. The magnum revolvers seem very pleasant afterwards.Sort of. My thought is accept recoil.
When shooting some hard kickers and I found myself starting to flinch, the 22 came out. I would shoot it making sure I didn't do anything besides focus on the sights and pull the trigger smoothly.
Then I would go right back to the big boomers, knowing they would kick, but they wouldn't hurt me.
It's amazing that a couple of mags thru the 22 would settle me down and I could return to hitting the target.
