I have a 20 gauge over and under and I dropped 2 birds with one shot each at about 30 yards with Modified chokes. It is an awesome shot gun! I have also shot a grouse with it this year and after I shot, it was GONE!!! I nailed the thing but it dropped it so fast all is I could see was feathers floating around! I got it right in the head so no meat was damaged. They are awesome guns. I have only got one goose with it and the one I got dropped and was dead as soon as the pellets got to it, but I would not recomend it just for goose hunting, cause it is a little small. It will take down mallards no problem! I have done a lot of water fowl hunting with it and every time I hit one, they just drop! Thats all I shoot, shotgun wise!
