I have a "standard" Upland Ultralight and I will concur the recoil is VERY noticeable. Not too bad for a day in the field as I typically take no more than five shots or so. Shooting trap is a whole 'nother story, it will beat you like a rented mule even with soft target loads. I ended up putting on a thick Kick-Eez pad and cutting the stock down for a 15" length of pull.
