Just as a matter of interest what cartridge is she shooting with? your gun - does it fit her properly? I shoot Beretta Silver Pigeon 12g but use 21g and 24g - no recoil.My wife has used my ou beretta and found the recoil too much I brought a 12G semi auto a while later and that kicked a bit. What about 20b ou or a semi?
I tend to use Hull Comp X in 21g because it is cheap and comfortable and does the job - it's me that missesThink its more the recall she doesn't like so 21g would be best to try before I buy another gun
It is ,if the wife's been shooting her husbands gun I very much doubt if it any where near fits which is why she's getting recoil problems. People just don't realise how important pitch is, probably more important than length or cast. There's a good article on the subject by Tim Greenwood in Clay Shooting magazine this month.I believe that stock and particularly pitch is different for women hence difficult to find off the peg to fit. Easiest thing is to pack the pad out and have a play with different pitch.
If you have the pitch and toe altered on your 425 you will notice a hell of a difference. It won't feel like the same gun.Pitch. That's the word I didn't know. Thanks, guys.
A bloke would look at my stock and think someone had put it on the wrong way around. Sooooo glad I got the alterations done almost immediately.If you have the pitch and toe altered on your 425 you will notice a hell of a difference. It won't feel like the same gun.
By toe I meant that pointy bit at the bottom of the stock that digs in under recoil .Uncomfortable for any one but particularly so for most ladies. As IPS says you need to get it done by a good gunsmith as I've also seen them cut the wrong way.So your talking about the vertical angle of the stock pad in relation to the shoulder and the toe meaning the pad not square to the stock?
