The kick one gets from shooting (6)
I believe the answer is:
recoil
'the kick' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recoil that I've seen before include "Reaction to being fired" , "backlash" , "Flich or kick back" , "Jerk back" , "(As a firearm) spring back" .)
