Default RE: Slug Question

ORIGINAL: Bad Hayes Can I shoot a slug through my shotgun that has a full choke? I may be deer hunting in a shotgun only area. I have hunted deer with my shotgun before but I have only used buck shot. If I could use a slug I would.

You can shoot both Foster-type or Brenneke-type slugs, (they're safe in a full-choke) but as others have noted, accuracy might not be too swift! You will need some kind of a rear sight! People don't use rifles without sights, but they often try to shoot slugs, which are a whole lot less accurate, without sights! Then they wonder why they can't hit anything!

Test a bunch of different brands. Accuracy will vary considerably from one make to the next. use the ones that group best, and zero in your gun to shoot to point of aim with the kind you select.
