Anyone use a 20 gauge for waterfowl and turkey ?
Been using a 12 all my life but age and injuries have gotten me so that recoil even from dove loads is getting unbearable. Yes I'll eventually get it fixed (AGAIN) but was thinking about maybe shifting to a 20 gauge for less recoil. Anyone have any experiences with it?
FWIW i don't feel under gunned with a 223 for deer with the right bullet and shot conditions so I know it's more of a "pick your shot" with a 20 gauge. I'll probably end up using my wife's 20 gauge pump for turkeys this year as a start.
Thanks
