Doc Holliday Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Just thought I'd drop a line about the shoot I went on at the weekend where I managed to christen my new gun. A charity shoot run by the Keston Gun Club at Staffhurst Wood, 50 bird english sporting. Shot 40 which I was pretty chuffed with, seeing as the high gun got 47. Have to say, my Beretta Ultralight had got one hell of kick and had to resort to extra padding in the shoulder. Have a nice yellow bruise there now which makes me look like I'm suffering from jaundice. Still, a most excellent day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter De La Mare Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Good shooting. If the Ultralight is actually ultralight, then it will have lots of recoil. It's simple physics, they don't have a built in recoil absorption system like semi-autos do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Holliday Posted April 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thank you. I was aware when I bought then gun that what you trade off in weight you gain in recoil but I didn't realise it was quite to that degree. After shooting the five stands and having a go on the pool my shoulder felt it'd just about had enough. Then my good friend offered me a go on the pool with his Zoli and I was very surprise how much difference a more solid gun makes. Has me thinking that maybe I should have gone for the Browning XS afterall . Still, I will give it another couple of goes before I decide if we're going to get along.
