I gave up using my 12 ga. magnum last year after duck hunting and getting head aches after a day of banging away. I have been using the same gun for turkey,but do not need the wiplash. At 70 years old I think my system has had enough and will try my 20 ga. from now on. A few of my buddies are calling me wimpy for going to my bird gun!! Any comments would be appreciated.
