I was wondering if the 10 gauge shotgun will actually allow you to shoot out farther than a 12 gauge or if this statement is false.

the one BIG thang about the 10 ga. ("It kills from both ends")

there is no need for a 10 ga. the 12 will do you a good job.it all depends on the person.thats why they make 16 ; 12 ; 10 and so on.each to his or her own.

hey, i think ur forgetting one. what about the 20ga? it will do the same job, without the recoil

I didn't forget,just didn't put them all in. I have a savage over and under 20ga. and have taken mant birds with it.nice little gun.just have to get them a little closer.thats what it's all about("gettem in close")

I have an American Arms 10 ga. side by side
(My son gets a chuckle out of my nickname for it...."The Werewolf Gun")
It has been called a "Hogleg" by another...

Basically it boils down to one thing....ANY gun is only as good as the guy shooting it. Woodsmanship and good judgement is what kills more gobblers than anything....

This being said, I have missed painfully good open shots at monster toms
with my 10 but I have killed far more than I have missed.

Any bird I have wounded, I was able to recover

Each time I take a shot, I was ALWAYS go over what it was that I did right or WRONG in taking the shot.

Still....Don't pull that trigger until you have confidence that you'll kill him...
A lost wounded bird is a tragedy

I LOVE my "Werewolf Gun" and I enjoy the pumpkin (size and color) orange of it's fire in the early morning light...the recoil is never noticed unless I accidentally pull both triggers (happened just once)
