Do you know if he chooses 28 because he considers they pattern better than 32 or is it recoil related. ?

Just curious
I'm sure recoil would be considered as he shoots at least 3days per week from the 12th August but he doesn't consider the extra 4 grams necessary, unlike the guy I shot with at Whitfield a few years ago who was shooting 50 gram 3 at pheasant without anymore success than my 28 gram 6.

Cheers.
I shot 50g once through a straight English grip, never again. ;)
