People who are used to shooting a heavier gun in games like SC and Skeet find it difficult to shoot such a light gun with any consistency... it's all what you're used to.

Some of the Repro 28's are stocked very high and you might be shooting over the tops of the clays... or maybe it's cast, or lack of cast, isn't right for you.

My Repro 28's weigh about the same and the one I had with the straight grip was stocked very high... but I got used to it and usually shot 90+% at Skeet with it.

As Dean has alluded to nothing is necessarily "wrong" with either your shooting or the gun. You are just not used to shooting that particular gun and need to shoot it more. You will get used to each other and it will be fine. My buddy purchased a fairly high stocked Ithaca this past summer and had a hard time the first few times out shooting it to the point he was considering having the stock bent, but the more he shot it the better it was and he now shoots it very well. Be patient and shoot the gun more.
