Objects Shadow option controls how the object receives shadow from light sources.

Normally object cast shadows only from faces, which are visible to light source.

In case if object does not cast shadow correctly, it means that objects normals and faces are not fill object from all sides. In this case select Full Shadow option, which is slower but calculates shadow from all sides (visible and visible) for each light source.
