Steve, yur tuff. I'm not all that concerned over recoil either. I know there are some exceptional shooters like yourself and probably there are many proficient shooters on this board that can handle a light, "lively" gun well. Heck, many on this bbs eat, sleep, and breathe shooting/hunting. They/we are the exception, IMO. But, even they will shoot a "slower" gun better, but not many would want to lug them in the field.
I do prefer fairly light guns for my quail hunting. But I do know that I'm more consistant with a heavier gun. I'm just not all that inclined to carry a big heavy gun for the up and downs of quail hunting. What I like and what I shoot better have some differences.
