Maybe it's the excitement and good fit of the gun. I don't remember any untoward recoil from 3" shells. I can't imagine firing enough shells---what, six or eight of a morning in the blind?---to cause any pain. A guess is my 26" SKB is 6 1/2 pounds. (Chuck reminded me a while back that o/u also makes a difference).
