Shotgun Kick?

Question

What is the kick like how hard what will i feel with low brass shot in a 12 guage shooting at clay traps i am small?

Answer 1

It's really hard to say

Depends on how gun fits you, weight of gun (heavy gun feels like it kicks less), gas operated auto kicks less, type of recoil pad - any is better than hard buttplate but they vary in effectiveness

small persons may be able to take recoil more easily - recoil can shove you back easier than a more massive person - they don't move as easily so they get hammered - you get shoved

some people are bothered more than others - I'm a big guy and I don't like recoil (especially after I developed arthritis in my shoulder)

could not stand to shoot short barreled double with hard buttplate - sold it and bought gas operated Mossberg 930 - if recoil on it really bothers me, I'll try Limb Saver recoil pad, a pistol grip stock (Choate) and if that doesn't work I'll try installing a recoil reducer in the stock

but biggest thing is make sure the gun fits you

Answer 2

kick ? recoil. low recoil 1200 vs 1600 ouch

Answer 3

its really not that bad, its loud so it might spook you at first but its not that bad.

Answer 4

The only difference between high brass and low brass shells is the length of the brass base

The reduced power of low brass is a myth it is merely a marketing ploy

High brass was first used on paper shells for more reliable extraction and to eliminate the possibility of burn through

Answer 5

not bad

Answer 6

If you shoot at clay targets its hard to get real pumped ha ha ! but their are very small pro`s that have no problem. If you shot that same gun at game the Adrenalin would take over and you wouldn`t feel much at all. get pumped.
