Point taken, Boats. Three-fourths ounce is probably plenty for the clay birds that are usually set for a 20 ga. event at a sporting clays shoot. Seldom is there a presentation over 30 yards at those. I agree that recoil is important on some of these vintage guns.

My apology if I sounded dogmatic. I admit I shoot clays to win, not to hear a gun go bang. And, I shoot game to kill as high a ratio of shots to bag, with the gun at hand, as possible. I tend to use equipment that facilitates that as best I can. I need to be more understanding of those who have other, equally important, objectives.

All my best, SRH


May God bless America and those who defend her.
