I have the same situation, arthritis inflammation in right rotator cuff plus a 1/2" long bone spur right in front of it just a bit offset from the joint. I am working on 80 years now, but still get to shoot some. Only last year I shot regularly once a week at least at sporting clays, generally just a single round of 100 birds. I shoot a Browning sporting clays 12 gauge with 32" barrels, fitted with a Graycoil unit that helps a good bit, also has an adjustable comb for a really good stock fit. If you really want lighter recoil, I suggest my second gun, for when the shoulder is really acting up: it's an older Rem 1100 with ported barrels, extended forcing cone, Kickeze pad, just about everything I could think of to help my shoulder last a bit longer. It is definitely easier recoiling, but I really enjoy the fit and feel of the Browning so much more, and my scores show I like it better. I still need a bit of a rub-down for that shoulder when I get home, but that's my story. I haven't found anything better, but maybe I just haven't looked hard enough yet.

12 gauge Browning Superposed with 20 gauge tube set.
Easy to work, not too much recoil, screw in tubes to the tube set.
Ammo is still cheap and effective

Going to be kinda heavy.

I have friend that shot sporting clays Master class he was in a bad 4 wheeler wreck. Before his wreck he shot a Kriegoff. Truth is he's lucky to be alive. Larry is in his 70s...he claims the Berretta A400 with the kick off is the only gun he has been able to manage....he also shoots a release trigger in it...he hopes to get back to Master class. I don't have much doubt that he will.

Having had a chance to try an a400 with kick off, I gladly agree. Best choice for a recoil issue while still not to heavy.

agreed, kick off is quite effective...

another solution is an eight and a half pound 28 ga ithaca nid built from a parts kit...

owner, also with arthritic shoulder, shoots 3/4 oz loads on skeet field and 1 oz loads at released live bird tower shoots...


keep it simple and keep it safe...
