1 3/4 - 2 ounces of shot to kill a pen raised pheasant? What the heck? I've never seen the need for over 1 1/8 ounces of mid-sized lead shot with sufficient choke for tower thrown pheasants.

If I ever ran a tower shoot I wouldn't allow over 1 1/4 ounce. Shot fall is a real concern when you're shooting across the "circle" from someone possibly throwing 2 ounces of #4s up in the air. I'm not trying to start an argument, or chastise anyone, but shot fall is something that needs to be considered at these type shoots. I sure wouldn't want to be across from someone shooting loads like that.
