Have shot them several times with our box bird group. A heavy choked pigeon gun capable of comfortably launching 1 1/4 ounce 7 1/2 pigeon loads is the way to go. They take a lot of "killing" to drop them in the ring, and the earlier you can shoot the darned things the better. Chokes on a trap gun would work fine, but a bit livelier stock design is, in my limited experience, better. The game really is designed to try to replicate an unpredictable, exceedingly tough bird launching from a box. Lively, tight, and a quick follow-up remain the formula as it was a hundred years ago.
