I'm an in-betweener

usually when I'm crouched or standing still I try to pull down, but normally let it bounce a bit.

but there's really no need is ASKING what's best, it's really whatever you is comfortable

It's all personal taste. Most people start to pull down as soon as they shoot, but not to the extent that they completely control the recoil; most of the time they'll pull it about halfway down and then they re-aim from there. I know some people find it easier just to let the recoil go completely up and then bring it down.

If you want to control the recoil completely get used to how far the recoil goes up because it always goes up the same amount, there's just a 50-50 chance that it will either go left or right if you're standing still. However, if you strafe left your recoil will go to the left--same with strafing to the right. So if you strafe immediately after every shot your recoil will always go in the same amount and in the same direction. That's what makes it possible to control garand recoil as well as some people do.

Depends on the range, if its close range I just spam bullets, but at longer distances I let it recoil and then re-aim for greater precision. (lol) Though usually my garand strategy is to bait the axis kar player into the open so I'll get two or three shots at him to his one...

I pull down a little when i shoot, but usually just let it bounce.
i've found for me a big pull to control the recoil is usually good when someone is close

I'm not a superstar rifle... But like some of the guys here I shoot one shot and then re-aim. I used to have the mentality to unload as many garand bullets into one person as possible and that isn't a very efficient killing method (You'd dump 7 shots for one guy and then you're boned if another pops up). Just remember to take your time with your shot like the kar. It isn't a one shot killer like the kar but with all rifles, every bullet counts especially since you can't reload the garand mid-clip.
Oh Snap.
