For those that have used a shurshot stock. Is felt recoil less than a regular stock?
I don't know if I could really tell a difference on recoil or not. I did read somewhere (whether this is true or not) that the recoil transferred down the handle instead of all of it pushing backwards???
I believe it does. I let my 12 y/o son shoot my 3" 870 express with a standard wood stock and my 870 supermag SPS in 3 1/2 with a sure shot. He said the 3" standard stock kicked a lot harder.
Mine came with the newest recoil pad so that helps.
I don't know if I'd say it kicks less. it just directs some of the energy into the arm through the hand. Basically using the arm as a recoil spring.
