While I agree that most people don't feel the recoil when they shoot (at) a bird, I for one am a believer in you play as you practice. If you practice with a light gun and heavy loads (such as those we hunt with), you can and most probably will develop some bad habits. (ie flinching, jerking the trigger, throwing your shoulder to accept recoil) I guess the reason for my post is to see if there is anyone else out there that actually adds weight to their gun, or other accessories, or modify their guns to help tame the recoil. And some reasons for and against weight being a factor when buying a new gun. I shot competitive in the Marine Corps and got quite used to the light recoil of the M16 and find that my training "on how to hold a weapon when firing" comes back to me at the most inopportune times. (usually when I'm sighting in or patterning a heavy caliber gun) [:@] I have also found the older I get, the less recoil I like. [X(]
No offense meant by the post, just fishing for some tips on controlling my ultimag.
