I know. I put a 4shell holder on the side of the gun. It's got 4 buck shots on it. The game load is for fun.

My walmart barely has anything. lol Which is weird because I live in a redneck town.

I probably should have bought some slugs to so I can blow stuff up!

I'll just get some next time.

Car Info: always changing...

chiming in a little late here but my wife was really really reluctant to shoot a 12 gauge. She's pretty small (5'1") and had all these ideas of what was going to happen when she did... well, her fears were needless in the end. She'd learned enough beforehand to have a proper stance and aside from the first shot was dead center for the rest of them.

I'm pretty sure we were firing birdshot though. But at least she's no longer askurred to fire the boomstick.
