Ok, I've shot rifles and I own a handgun. But when I comes to shotguns I need some input. I've gone to the trap range and fired on clays and pretty much understand the concept. I fire just below and just ahead of my target and I can drop them all day long. No problem there. Where I need some help is understanding the projectiles trajectory when firing at large game, such as deer. Do I get a sight picture as I would with a rifle or pistol? X marks the spot. Or, do I fire below my target as I would with clays or birds? I was told that a shotgun tends to rise. Now, I know I depends on the range to the target. What I'm asking is "Should I simple shot it like a rifle?"
