So John, in conclusion, are you saying that said .3 lbs or 4.8 oz. makes a difference in seeing or not seeing hits?

Plus, we have to keep in mind that this is not felt or perceived recoil. In which many other factors come into play.

Again, I've not crunched numbers, nor do I care to. Or to dispute yours.

I can only speak from experience and I just don't notice much if any difference in recoil or in seeing hits. The recoil energy is so close that , as stated earlier, I think other factors have a greater effect. JMO.....
