I shot a Winchester Model 12 in 28 ga. a ton as a youth, using those full one ounce loads in paper hulls. Recoil never bothered me. Not having enough shells might. I wish I could do it all over again, I'd
shoot more of them if I could. Lead shot, for ducks, in narrow creeks with a bull headed Chessy by my side. It does not get better than that, I assure you. Who could do better than a dog named Sir who hated misses and would bite your boots if you missed too much in his opinion. How I miss that dog. It would be so much fun to bring him today and have him growl that guttural growl when friends missed birds.
