Mel, not on MY range. You might just get cussed out, thrown out, or barred forever.

I realize you're jesting, but sureasheck, someone out there will miss the joke and a potential shooter never even try it twice.

Winchester, Nova, makes a superlite load. But, chances are a standard "Dove" load will do well for you. Stick to the 1 oz, 2 3/4 dram eq.

And, I highly recommend some lessons from a qualified instructor. Pop was an amazing wingshot, but he didn't know WHY he was good, and it took 20 years of shotgunning and some lessons to put me where I am today. An instructor will get you started w/o bad habits to handicap you from the start.
I've heard of one person who was told to hold the stock away from the shoulder when he was firing an antique 4 gauge.


BTW, for those of you who haven't shot shotguns, holding the stock an inch away from the shoulder is a mistake you will only do once... Correct technique is to hold the stock tightly against the shoulder.
