28 gauge with No. 8s isn't going to do anybody any lasting harm, unless they get hit with a pellet in the eye.
I used to shoot skeet with my old Rem 1148 in 28, it's difficult! Occasionally I would catch a clay with just one pellet, and it wouldn't even break.

"I used to shoot skeet with my old Rem 1148 in 28, it's difficult! Occasionally I would catch a clay with just one pellet, and it wouldn't even break." I have a 20 guage Winchester that I used for pheasants and a 12 guage Mossburg Ulti-Mag for geese. Haven't shot skeet in years. Was once on a company team that took 1st place...not because of me, though :)!
Don't hunt anymore because of health issues. We still won't live without hunting dogs, however. Our present is a 1 yo German Shorthair who's the best dog we've ever had. But he's just the family pet now, no hunting.
