<P style="MARGIN: 0px"> pcgoosehunter</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> I have a Nova I bought the second year they were made. I have the old style recoil reducer in it.</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> ( I understand they changed it. )</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> It does reduce the recoil,and it does make the firearm feel heavy! (weight is not an issue for waterfowling, for me ) I like the reduced recoil because it allows me to recover from the shot and acquire another target quicker and more accurately!</P> <P style="MARGIN: 0px"> I also let my neighbor boy use it when he goes with me, He's maybe 5' tall and 110 lbs. and handles it well!</P>
