Dove season is here and a lot of Dads are showing up at the skeet range with their young sons. The gun of choice seems to be the 870 Express or a Mossberg, both in 12 ga. The load of choice is either the bulk pack 3 dram (1200 fps) 1 1/8 oz load or the "heavy dove" 3 1/4 dram (1250 fps) 1 1/8 oz load. These shells "kick like a mule" especially when fired out of light weight pumps. I want to see these kids return as regular shooters. A couple of experiences of "getting the hell beat out of them" may lead to disinterest. Watching these kids being slammed unnecessarly makes my shoulder ache!
Most of the "regulars" are doing everything they can to reduce recoil.
Come on Dad; spend an extra buck or two and buy them some light target loads. I'd like to see them back next year and eventually as regulars.
