   As others have said gun fit is the single most important equipment related aspect when it comes to hitting birds on the wing. I have had a very similar experience to Allgood's I only shoot 2 3/4...

   Biggest thing you need to remember, and it's all about the fit. You have to dona lot of practice shouldering the gun to get that muscle memory going and you have to be looking down the barrel in the...

   Disclaimer; I am not a recoil sensitive Guy....... ....But, waterfowl and upland game shooting is supposed to be a pleasurable activity. I use 2 3/4" shells for all my hunting. I initially bought...

   Gamebore,Kent,Winchester all make great/awesome 2 3/4" ammunition as does Kiwi firm falcon. Buy what fits you best,the ammunition side of it is trial n error/ pattern board no matter what length...

   2 and 3/4 is fine, if you cant drop ducks with them, then 3" wont make any difference. And plenty of good choices of ammo available. And the Miroku is a really nice shotgun, I had one for about 10...

   I know plenty of people who shoot 3" #3 shot and can't hit shit, and plenty who shoot 2¾ steel and drop plenty of quackers. As long as it can shoot steel, that sounds like a great first gun! I...

   2 3/4" is just fine for duck shooting on river or pond. I'd go 3" if you can to future proof yourself for goose/swan shooting or longer range, but don't sweat it.

   Have a read up of the ammo. A lot of 3" stuff is only going the same speed as 2&3/4 stuff with the same payload in steel. I did ask the falcon guy this once. He said going to a 3" case, it allows for...

    Best bet on steel proof rating is to take it in to a gun shop/gun smith if you can. I spent hours researching mine (the week before opening weekend), and ended up taking it in to Gunworks, and they...
