I have been directed numerous times toward a 12 gage 3 - 3 1/2" Magnum type gun. I fully expect to buy my first bird gun (ever- no rifles, only 1 pistol) within the month. My uncle offered to lend me his 16 gage (used for bird hunting since the 60's with his Dad) for trial. I almost felt disappointed.
I have been told that I can ONLY use 12 gages for duck and Quail (not Danny Mr FBI). So what does one use 16, 20 and 410 for, shooting cans with my daughter?
