For the 54 owners out there: does tilting the gun down, say 15 degrees, as when firing at prey from a standing position, noticeably affect the anti-recoil effect of the sledge mechanism?

Depends on the angle, but downwards should do nothing

Firing upwards may do a negligible effect of releasing the mechanism backwards a little faster and transfer a little recoil to the sooter.
Down shooting should not do anyyhing.

Unless you must eat them, why shooting animals?

Shoot targets and metal cans. Much fun and not causing pain to Anyone!

Thanks, Yariv -- good to know. We have groundhogs that have chewed away the floors of two storage sheds. Sometimes pest control is a must.
