How Many of You........
are dedicated 20ga Turkey Hunters? I know we all (almost), have many shotguns; but, how many use ONLY A 20GA FOR TURKEY HUNTING? I'm one of those guys for several reasons:
• The gun is significantly lighter (& so is the ammo lol).
• The recoil is significantly less.
• I introduced my wife & 4 grandsons to Turkey Hunting 4 years ago;
they can handle the 20ga (but not a 12ga, even with 2¾" loads).
• There has been a DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT in 20ga chokes & loads.
• It's important, (solely to me); that I level the playing field when I
hunt with them & don't have a greater advantage in my gun than
they do.
Many may not agree with my last comment but it's a guiding principle for me as I bring my family along in hunting & shooting. What are your thoughts?

RE: How Many of You........
I dont hunt with a 20ga but I dont see a problem with others using a 20ga. If you prefer it then ok by me. I dont disagree with your comments and I believe they have come a long way with using a 20ga. Heck I grew up using one and still have it to this date. So Im good with someone using a 20ga...
