johnspies Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I want to get a supernova with steadygrip as I will also be doing some turkey hunting. The majority of my shooting experience has been in the military with a M-16 so I feel most comfortable with a pistol grip. Your thoughts? Thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbb630 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Shooting flying birds is much easier to do with coventional stocks as they are better designed to perform that way. Pistol grip stocks are moreso designed for guns with sights or scope on a fixed target as is your military weapons. One thing for sure is where I'm from, I would get weird looks showing-up on a duck hunt with a pistol grip stock:rolleyes: And I suspect you to experience the same:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timb99 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Agree with jones. You will not like a pistol grip for wing shooting. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Shooter Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I would stick with a field stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonigh Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have a Supernova with pistol grip. Setup fir turkey hunting. Trying to trade it for a Comfortech. Don't think I would like it waterfowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesbb630 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 INSULATED HUNTING GLOVES The unique PVC formulation allows our insulated gloves to stay flexible in cold temperatures as low as -4F. The warm acrylic liner is both seamless and napped. This combination produces the most comfortable insulated gloves in the world. The rough grip ensures steady grip in the harshest of conditions. Great gloves for setting and retrieving decoys. Will keep your hands toasty warm while hunting waterfowl on those cold days. The Atlas® 460 is double dipped, and the most flexible, whereas the triple dipped blue 490 has increased durability and oil resistance. Both gloves come with the option of a removable liner for ease in laundering and drying. The 495 gloves come with removable liner. Can easily remove gloves if needed to have quick access to objects. What does that have to do with a steady grip for Duck Hunting? The OP was refferring to a steady grip butt stock, not gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike100 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 A pistol grip is good for relatively stationary targets or moving targets on a flat/level/consistent plane. Wing shooting is different and requires a free swing on a many planes. A pistol grip is not what you want in this case. --Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckht183 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah I wouldn't recommend it, because I find myself sometimes in wierd positions when im pulling up on ducks. I will say though that my buddy and I went through a box of clays with his Benelli M3 (with the folding stock and a pistol grip) and it was a freakin blast! He has the M16 style open sights on it, which made it a little tough finding the target in the air, but after I shot, the target looked as if I shot it with my Franchi I-12...Nothin But Smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmarc Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I guess I should have quoted it because it was a different one than that one. It read like a badly dubbed Kung Fu film with him talking of how "goodly he like" to hunt with a pistol grip stock. Then a link to whatever they were selling at the bottom.

Spike100 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I find myself sometimes in wierd positions when im pulling up on ducks..... That should not be the case if you are inside a blind or in a stationary position (i.e., you are not “jump shooting”). If you do find yourself straining to achieve proper sighting/alignment, try determining swing planes in advance. Actually, “I find myself sometimes in wierd positions when im pulling up on ducks.....”, can be very dangerous when inside a blind with its tight confinements. You do not want to be doing any weird positions in this circumstance. --Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you just copy pasted my post? I wrote exact word for word on page 1 of this thread. Is there an echo in here?

mcsoutdoorsman Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'd say forget about looks, and worry about comfort. If you're used to it and are successful, do it. Everybody's awkward looks will diminish when they tally the ducks. I have a MAX-4 pistol grip for sale that fits a SBE2/M2/SuperNova, check it out on the turkey hunting forum and let me know if you're interested. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
