There’s no recoil in anything until the end of the day when you might have a slight headache .

I know that Craig is shooting those big loads at tower pheasants and box and thrown pigeons. Those are the loads that I would also prefer for those targets. Craig didn't specify his targets, only the number of shells shot in a day. I don't think it was sporting clays.

I don’t shoot pigeon loads at tower shoots . All my pigeon loads are 7 1/2’s I prefer 6’s at tower shoots . I did however shoot pigeon loads at quail boxbirds this past January . I thought boxbird quail were going to be chip shots . Turns out I was quite wrong .

Yup, Craig. Box quail are hard to hit but not hard to kill.
