This is Winchester XR 12 ga. 3in  1200 ft. 1-3/4oz.  5 shot.
30 yards.

I had retina reattached back in Nov.  just got released to hunt in March.

I put a Tru glo 4x on my gun   and made the adjustment needed...

That's a load of recoil for a guy with a history of a detached retina. Do what you want to of course, but if it was me, I would be looking at a gas operated 20 and some TSS. You could cut recoil and the chance for further injury substantially and still have better patterns.

That should do the trick.

I'd be looking at a gas recoil gun myself! MUCH softer shooting.
