Couldn' t wait to shoot my new gun today. I just got a stoeger condor through a trade with my bro in law. This is a very pretty gun, great feel, and it just feels like it wants to knock down some doves for me next Saturday morning. When I got home from work I took a box of 7/8 oz dove loads and a bunch of bbq briquets and headed down to the deer camp to try out my new baby. Having never shot an over/under before I wasn' t too sure what to expect. What I didn' t expect was to get the crap kicked out of me.....with light loads! I feel like the gun fits me pretty well, but for some reason that thing works me over pretty good. My shoulder looks like somebody took a whip to it after 25 shots. The two guns that I do most of my shooting with are a browning bps and my new favorite, my benelli nova....so I am used to the recoil of a kicking gun, but was not prepared for the abuse that I got today. That thing is going to look great in my gun cabinet for a long time!
