Gun jerk (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recoil

(Other definitions for recoil that I've seen before include "kickback" , "Spring back; flinch" , "Backward jerk of a gun when it's fired" , "Feel disgust" , "Move or spring back suddenly, perhaps in disgust" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
