Funny, that’s what my mother says too.
Also from the 16 yard line, shoot a light load, which will prevent fatigue from recoil, especially since you are shooting a pretty light gun (a 28” Citori is about 7.5 lbs at my guess), I shoot a Caesar Guerini high rib that is closer to 9, and still prefer light loads.
Try the (Cabelas) Herter’s LR 1 ounce at 1060 FPS, or B&P at 1160. They’ll break anything on the clay’s course where I work, even a 50 yard fast crosser.
