Your niches have niches, but, I doubt you are alone in that.

Congrats on a new gun. Measure the pitch. If it is greater than 2, adjusting it might tame the recoil.

I had a few out at 4, and even a 20 gauge pump was positively brutal. I like it about 1 1/2 or so, but, everyone is different.

Good luck.

Best,
Ted
