I find myself shooting my 8 gauge more than any other shotgun I have. The recoil isnt what you would expect and its really just a slow push. I cant convince anyone else to give it a try though they see the shells and decline. Probably doesnt help when you show them a 10 ga shell fits inside a 8 gauge shell I hope in the future I can get a few more, I got 18 loads I plan to pattern for mine this weekend.
Well if you are ever in South Ga bring it with ya and I will bring some cash for a few shells. I would love to shoot it!

Im about 2hrs west of you I think, if you ever feel like driving over to the mayhaw shooting range I will give you a few shells to fire off. I think the problem most people have with the big guns is not the recoil but trying to hold them on target because of the weight. A couple years of carrying bundles of asphalt shingles on my shoulders the 8 gauges feel pretty nimble
