Shooting lighter loads ( less shot -- like 7/8 oz or 3/4 oz in a 12ga ) at 1150 fps or 1200 fps....takes less of a toll on you mentally in a tournament / especially if you are shooting a 4 day event - and its hot or humid.
While most of us ignore recoil as an issue ...and if our guns fit us right ( most adults) don't really think recoil is that big a deal ...but recoil is cumulative and builds up if you spend a lot of hours in a day on the course.
By day 3 --- the mental game, is a really big deal ...( and leaving those 1 1/8 oz 1300 fps loads at home, is a good plan) ! The "mental" game, is where most of us lose a tournament ...sloppy follow thru, bad stance, bad plan on a sporting clays station, eye fatigue...all that little stuff...
