Tim, we're glad you joined us in this fun (funny?) shooting event. I think you're really going to have a lot of good shooting with your newly acquired 28" 16 ga. 0-frame VH. I've discovered why it feels so whippy for you - the barrels were originally 34" and are now 28" so missing the weight of that last 6" of the barrels would naturally balance the gun right where it does . . . right in front of the trigger guard
