2016 ProTip with SFC Glenn Eller: choosing shotgun shells 

Been rifle shooting for 30y and Had a lot of success in F Class. Just starting to look into trap shooting but know nothing about it. Fired possibly 300-400 shells over the last few years at xmas shouts and thats about it. This year it all come together and shooting with a dozen mates using what ever shotgun was there I finally worked it out and won the chocolate fish. In previous years I couldn't hit the side of a house with one. I gotta say I really enjoyed it and so thinking about getting my own Shot gun and I have been scouring the net for info about guns to start out and ammo. You told me more about shot in this short video then the previous 2 hours I have spent watching others. Great job!

Clear and concise. Thank you.

excellent video. Great explanation of the use of different size shot and downrange velocity.

Great job sir.

If you were not limited what rounds would you choose for slow moving targets like drones. What gun would you pick? Remember, they could be pretty far and stationary or close and slowly moving. *edit: I think I've found the answer in the vid after all. #2, 1 1/4 oz birdshot. Just the right gun

Thanks

Where are we allowed to use #2 LEAD shot for ducks and geese these days? Lead on all waterfowl has been banned for decades. The #2 shot shown on the paper plate looked like lead.

Quick and dirty. Thanks
