Yeah, some of these light 20's can have quite a kick. Most of the time,esp on clays, I drop down to 3/4 oz loads

That is a good looking gun! Hope to hear a good report on the hunt.
Yeah, Julia is having issues with the recoil on her 16 gauge VH. |

Julia would probably find that a 7/8th ounce or even a 3/4 ounce load at 1100 fps would be satisfactory for informal clays shooting in her 16. Recoil would be significantly less than a 1 ounce load at 1200 fps.

She was using 7/8 Polywads. We probably need to go down to 3/4

I noticed the same thing the first time I fired my little fox. Caught me by surprise.

I had a Darne 20 gauge someone brought back after the war that thing was two red hairs over 5 pounds and while it was great for carrying and shooting quail that type thing it would pound the fire out of you on a skeet field . I got a Darne 12 with it that was a couple hairs over 6 pounds and it was a good deal more user friendly on the skeet then that 20 !

I have a Fox A 16 gauge that I like quite a bit .
I think a Fox A 20 with the older engraving pattern may be coming my way soon . If that's the case I'll have to think about getting an A 12 gauge just so I have all three |
