A few years ago I went skeet shooting, and ended up with a black and blue upper arm pit area. This is my inquiry. I am looking for a shotgun for home protection and occasional range shooting, but I recently had a diagnosis of disk degeneration in my spine. The doc said to avoid trauma to my back. Given this situation (I'm not disabled, just have to be careful), can anyone recommend a pump action shotgun that does not have a powerful kick so I can spend an hour or two on the range without unnecessary stress on my spine.

Thanks,

Al
