[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 929856, member: 6064"] Yes Benelli,s kick a bit more than 1100/1187, however once any shotgun is fit to you the recoils is much less. Benellis come set up in a European manner and I find I need to use the C shim for drop and a b plate for cast. That coupled with a nice Kick-Eez or Limb-Saver recoil pad makes them much more managable. Action shooting use of a shotgun is much different than hunting or skeet and trap shooting. In the above mentioned sports you fire either one or two rounds and then have a big long wait, Hunting up to 3 but there is usually a good break in the action while the gun is toped off again and then something else decides to fly by. Sporting clays is a tiny bit closer but even then there is a fire two with a break in between sets. Action shooting on the other hand can be courses of fire with swinging/flying and static targets and large steel Poppers to knock down. Up to 45-60 rounds all at one time fired as fast as you can load the gun...which if you are skilled can be quite fast, I can shoot a round and load eight more shells and shoot another round in 6 seconds average My best time for a port arms start and hitting a 10" steel plate at 10 yards loading 8 and shooting another steel plate at 10 yards is 5.13 seconds. Now 45-60 rounds of buckshot and slugs shot in a 45 - 65 seconds will put a much higher stress on the gun than any Clay or hunting sport. and there have been several times in Europe and Asia where the stages have been so big that I have melted the fiber optic rod on my Hi-Vis front sight.
