Ok... having had 5 different surgeries on my right arm....(wear and tear from the Military Career), recoil is a major issue with me. I've got hunting guns that weigh up to 10 pounds with a break and I really enjoy them. I also wear a shoulder pad. The extra weight is not an issue with me. Some people find it a pain if you're doing any back country hiking. As for the break... some folks don't like the noise. It's simple. Buy a good set of electronic hearing muffs and the issue is solved. I always have them on when I'm hunting.
Now my target gun is another issue...... 18 lbs and 21 lbs each.
Bottom Line Up Front answer: Yes, they both make a huge difference.
