Thanks for your input. I have shot a few boxes of Winchester AA Low Recoil/Low Noise Target Load whose box states 980 velocity. I'm curious if the 20 gauge loads you shoot have less recoil that the low velocity 12 gauge shells. Since heart surgery, I take blood thinners and got some bruising from regular 12 gauge loads. Also, the 20 gauge shells seem to be easier to find than the above Winchester loads. Thanks.
