I have found that a caisson and wheels is a big help in getting the thing to the goose pit.

Seriously, if you work out a bit , its not too bad, and the weight sure does soak up the recoil. Ok, mebbe not, even heavy still kicks pretty good.

On the other hand, those 3-1/2" shells can be quite effective. Docbill used his , for a while anyway, on crows conducting agricultural depredations ( they can wreak havoc in a pecan orchard). The weight really smoothes your swing.
