The march of time has ground me into the mud and I no longer can enjoy shooting break barrel airguns due to shoulder issues. I'm really disappointed about that, as break barrels are the guns that pulled me into modern airgunning. As much as I love them I can no longer enjoy a long session of shooting them.
My question is: can an underlever gun prove easier on the shoulders when cocking than the standard breakbarrel? It's the reaching up and beginning the cocking motion from well overhead that kills my shoulders now, though my arm strength is plenty for the compression forces. I'm wondering if an underlever has proved easier on the aging joints for those who have used both?
