For decoying ducks, 2 3/4 #6 will smoke them all day long. For decoying geese, 3 inch #3 or a 3 1/2. The 3 1/2 will give you a lot more shot giving you more wiggle room on missing. Never shot blind sides but I have shot black clouds before and was very impressed. I didn't believe they were any different until I shot one and it smoked birds. Do I think they are worth the extra money? Not really. I don't care for xperts. I'm a fan of federals even though they are a dirty shell. I also like Remington shells. G&H had some awesome deal on those rio shells and they are a great shell as we'll. My biggest thing when buying shells is the shot weight. For 2 3/4 I won't shoot anything less than 1 1/8 oz. for 3 inch I shoot 1 3/8 oz and 3 1/2 I shoot 1 1/2 oz
