  • What is the difference between the 1 oz. and 1 1/8 oz. shells?
    The 1 oz. load contains less shot, therefore, you will have less recoil and usually the shot charge will be a little faster. The 1 1/8 load contains more shot which will give you more recoil than the 1 oz. shell.

    A true pair is when two targets are thrown at exactly the same time. A report pair is when one target is thrown first and the second one is released after the first one has been fired upon.
