FWIW: #8 shot will blow a large hole (1-4") in 3/4" plywood up to 5 yards away, and penetration drops off VERY quickly after that point. 00 buck, on the other hand, makes 9 through-and-through holes well past 10 yards. The question then is how concerned you are about possible innocents on the other side of the target or walls; a bachelor in the country doesn't worry about over-penetration of walls as much as an apartment-dweller with kids.
