Did the new stock raise the barrel higher, above the center line of the stock? This will cause the barrel to rise rather than push straight back. Actual recoil may be lower, but felt recoil may have increased. And like you said, even with a proper forward stance, your small frame can only hold so much so you are limited in that respect. (I consider that a good thing)
Most women make a better shooter and are easier to teach. Women don't anticipate the recoil as much and don't you feel like you know all there is to know about firearms. Having said that, it's obvious you know your stuff. Men struggle with this. I don't know why, but men seem to think they are less manly if they admit they are not firearm experts.
Speaking of "Hubby", I'm still waiting for the family pic on the front porch of your new home...
hhm... a good question.... i'll have to drag it out from under the bed at some point to check it out. i'll dig the original stock out of the basement too, see where that put me in relation to the barrel. it's a good thing for me to know when i go shopping for future pieces!! I DO know i'm in GREAT form on the Nova. Swings like breeze...oooooh it's so pretty. I know it's a girlie gun and a lotta guys complain it looks too futuristic.... but i AM girlie and i gotta have style, yo.
The Hubbs is from Texas, and he's been an amazing tutor in my journey to marksmanship (an ever ongoing journey), and the best part about learning from him is HIS willingness and PASSION for learning. He agrees with you about the stereotypical "shooting dude." He will be the first one on the range to ask a question or get his laptop out to look something up. ::sigh:: I just loooourve my Man
as for a family pic.... my digicam is broken.
it makes me want to cry every time i think about all the missed photo ops i've had since it's been out of commission.
