RE: beginner questions..
The best advice I can give you is to patter whatever gun you end up with...and don't over choke...I shoot a browning 525, I have I/C and light modified in it...also I shoot 6's and sometimes 7 1/2's...most people will tell you to shoot 4's and I have one buddy that shoot's 2's...I see no need for that...It is not a difficult bird to kill when you are prepared for it and dont try to overkill it
