I started this topic before I reall did any field work--sorry
Yesterday I put a slip- on recoil pad on my Pardner and fired a 3 " buckshot load-- Don't do that, the recoil is bone jarring to say the least-
I learn hard, so I chambered a 2 3/4 Remingtion Forster slug- not quite as severe but more than I want to can handle easily.
If I use this light shotgun, I will surely develop a flinch, not to mention a beat up body.
I used a bench which probably added to the felt recoil as my whole body was not in rhe best position to absorb the recoil.
Bottom line, no slugs or buckshot for me. I really do like the lightness of this gun with birdshot. I no longer need to figure out sights
