If you are shooting 100-200 rounds on a regular basis (every weekend), 8 lbs. minimum. Experience speaking.

agreed, 8 pound gun is easier on shoulder than 7 pound gun...cept after about 50 rounds it feels like 9 pound gun, and so on...
have 28 ga 8 pound nid repro...with arthritic shoulder, it is a joy to shoot on skeet range...
keep it simple and keep it safe...

My target gun is closer to 10 lbs just so I can tolerate the usually warmer loads available at the various clubs around here. Was at Cabelas last Friday kicking around and noticed ever their "cheaper" shotgun shells are now $12/box. Bought some a while back for $10 a box, so now even they are gouging a bit. I'll keep shooting as long as the clubs can provide ammo, but at some point it will become just too expensive to justify.

Lloyd, be willing to bet the increase in fuel costs nationwide can easily explain the increase in ammunition prices at Cabela’s.
Like the Superbike guys say “Stupid hurts”. Just stupid energy policy now, but, it still hurts.
Best,
Ted

Not enough change, nor quick enough for me. Stupid energy policy seems to be hard to unwind.

8 pounds minimum, in a 12 ga. My comp gun weighs 9+.
With a Kick Killer lace on pad in place I have shot up to 1300 rounds of 7/8 oz. loads out of a Beretta 687 20 ga. SPII in one day, with no recoil issues. A bit of tenderness that evening but gone by shooting time the next morning, and again and again for 4 days.
Ed, you're full of crap about an 8 pound gun getting too heavy after 50 rounds. I'm a 70 year old, and not muscular, and I can shoot my 9 lb. plus Perazzi 100 rounds with no tiredness at all. None, Eddie, none. Nothing special about me, either. All my elderly shooting buds can do that, too. Maybe you shouldn't project your wimpiness on everybody else. That, or just keep quiet.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
