I’d bet you won’t even poke your head out the door today.. but when you do pattern those guns make sure you catch that stuff.. it hurts watching that swarm go around the hill and not have something in hand afterwards

That's one reason I switched to a 410. Those 3 1/2 inch loads hurt!

I shoot a 3 1/2" and I always thought I'd get use to it but the older I get the worse it hurts. Lol!

I used to shoot a Mossberg 835 with a B-square scope mount on it. Dang thing kicked so hard that it would catch the callus on my hand and rip it open. I had to wear a glove to shoot it.

.rolling. That’s one reason I don’t shoot 3 1/2s! The biggest reason is that didn’t get that much of a “better” pattern to warrant them. I made sure my 12 and 20 ga’s , 3” were still on.
