First shotgun.

Think im gonna take a look at another gun shop and a sporting goods store near me, for some used pumps this friday. Thanks for all the help.
 
More likely, half this forum is older and wiser and knows the reality of the situation, especially from a long-term perspective...............;)
 
yes, recoil didnt seem to bother me too much at the range with my friends 12 gauge. Hurts a little, but lifting weights for the past year or so has seemed to help in that regard.
 
Pain from recoil is only one consideration. There may be macho men who will claim recoil doesn't bother them, but they may still be flinching when they pull the trigger. That doesn't help accuracy much.

Also, the person who shoots 3 times during a hunting outing has a very different experience than the person who shoots 300 at a trap club.
 
Idek, lifting will help with control and fatigue, but better is good form,fit and a premium pad like Pachmyer,Limbsaver or KickEez for comfort and dealing with kick.

Heavier guns and lighter loads also figure in.

I think you might be combining comments from different people here. I didn't say anything about lifting weights, and I'm all in favor of good fit, reasonable gun weight for a given payload, and quality recoil pads. Maybe you meant to address the OP.
 
Ended up getting a used mossberg 500ab 28 inch barrel modified choke. It's in great condition for being only $119. Thanks for the advice fellas.
