Oh I can blow a speck call plenty good. I mean I dont need to use a .45 for self defense.........but why have to shoot more than once? Am I right?

I just shoot 3's. Little more forgiving than the 3 1/2's on the shoulder/cheek. However, I do keep a handful on 3 1/2s in my bag just incase some geese are low in the marsh. As someone stated, 3 1/2 doesn't give you more distance.. For that, I have my extended full paternmaster! (atleast it makes me feel more confident, thats what counts right? lol)

I have 24 3 1/2's that I'll give ya! Shot one out my Mossberg and , never another! I think I'd rather been standing in front of it! Lol!

Shoot a box of them. You won't want anymore of them.

Even in a gun as heavy as the bps? I kinda like the versitility of being able to shoot all 3 types of shells.

evidrine 09-24-2011 07:08 PM
What did all you guys do before 3.5"? I guess I 'm another that agrees that even though its kinda cool, its not necessary.

3 1/2 BLACK Cloud #6 in 1 1/4 oz. ;1 3/8oz. 1 9/16oz. hands down. Fewer cripple'sand better knock down power.

I accidentally got some 3 1/2 lead 10ga shells last year.......geese didn't stand a chance!! Didnt realize till after the hunt........ Wish we could use lead still for everything!!! It works so good!!!



And yes, 3 1/2 10ga is horrible to shoot!!!

On a lease we hunted when were kids there was an old man that had a single barrel 10 gauge, thermos of coffee and a yellow lab. He would just park on the road and sit on his tailgate and you would hear that cannon go off.

He regularly ended with a limit of birds one cup of coffee and one shot at a time.

dat copper coated lead is fun!!!

Surely I'm not the only one that shoots decoyin geese and ducks now days?? That's really the only way to shoot em and you don't need 3.5 to kill em. Your always gonna have cripples every now and then but not often when they're close. This was a 2 3/4 #4 this mornin.

It is a no brainer to get a 3 1/2" gun over a 3" but stay away from that 26" barrel. Your hunting partners ears will last a lot longer! lol As far as camo vs. synthetic, I prefer the camo but you need to be a little careful with it. Mosquito repelent can take the finish off of the camo guns. My Maxus has a bone colored spot where my cheek rides due to repelent. That still wouldn't stop me from buying the same gun again. It has been the best gun I have ever owned.

Killed close to 200 specks last year wit 2 3/4" #4s. I have a junky ol nova that I won that I turkey hunt wit and I use 3.5s for that just for the extra bbs. But if u are strictly duck and goose huntin it's pointless waste of money. Decoyin ducks and geese = whatevers cheapest. 3.5" shells are the cause for most skybustin now days.

I've been shooting the hevi metal shells.......kick like a mule!!! Bruised my shoulder and cheek.....stay away from them!! Im going with a slower shot from now now on

Top Dawg 09-26-2011 06:29 AM
I shoot rios. Got em for $6 dollars a box last year 2 3/4 # 4s. This year I was gonna get some more but all they had was 3" for $9 a box so I went ahead and got a couple of cases of dem.

all star rod 09-26-2011 07:30 AM
Mostly shoot 3", 1-1/4oz 4 and 3, name brand does not matter to me. I keep a few 3.5" shell with me just in case we have to unload/skybust on some geese!

Duck Butter 09-26-2011 08:05 AM
3" #3 Estates love em


3.5" is for skybusting topwaters:grinpimp:

Kenner18 09-26-2011 08:11 AM
The only reason I shoot 3.5" is they havent made the 4" yet...........lol
