Gimmick,probably. It MAY work fine, but it looks complicated.

Technology cannot substitute for expertise. If the money spent on that stock were put into, ammo, range fees and maybe even a lesson or two, my guess is you'd be better off.

Shooting a shotgun is like sex,if it hurts, you're doing it wrong. Poor form and poor fit are the most common problems with shooting the shotgun, and adding to that is touching off a Testosterone Special load in a 12 ga shotgun weighing less than 7 lbs.

If you're shooting a load suited to the weapon, have good fit and form, and the back end of your reasonably heavy shotgun has a decent pad,recoil won't be a problem.
