No recoil at all. It's was a first for me, Dale and the late Dr. Spratling. I'll never forget that day. It's good knowing it remains in the PGCA family and has a good home!

I took both those 8 gauge guns to an informal private 5-Stand deal in Fredricksburg VA back a month or so ago as a friend had asked if I’d bring them along . And I had two hundred or so shells . Turns out my friend has an 8 gauge single hammer Jones underlever he’d never fired . So he shot his and seven or eight of the other eleven fellows there all fired an 8 for the first time . Was kinda neat watching folks that thought the guns would pound the heck out of them smile after the fact .

Loaded some of the .785” balls some of the .795” balls and some of the 000000/.415” as well . Both were shot at 30 yards with about a grain more of Universal Clays than I used in the previous loads . First was from the right barrel with 000000 the second was from the left barrel with two shots of the .795” balls . Also used the Italian Gulianni wads with the buckshot loads today .
