- Time to talk guns and ammo! Join me as I demonstrate shot patterns and breakdown my firearm and shotshell selections for every waterfowl season. From Teal, through Duck to Snows. I get a ton of questions throughout the year about guns and ammo, and I took some time here to address all of them. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to leave them in the comments! Enjoy this new installment of Habitat Flats Guide Tactics.

I agree. Little smaller shot size, tighter choke. Much denser pattern. Great video.
Pattern density is everything! Great advice Tony. Watched a 9 year old burn up a limit's butt last week with a 28 and he had nooooo problems.👍
Hi Tony. I hunt pigeons and duck early in the season with a Beretta A303 20 gauge. Geese and ducks in the late season I use a benelli Vinci 12 gauge. everything works out very well.
So many people think a larger gauge shotgun gives longer range. They don’t. #4 shot at 1400fps, is still a #4 pellet moving 1400fps no matter what shotgun it’s out of. With the bigger guns you’re just getting more chances.
I tend to run larger shot as the mass from a larger pellet carries more energy down range. But with switching to Boss Bismuth shot this year, I did drop from 3” #2 steel to 2 3/4 #4 boss loads awesome performance.
The Shorty 5’s did Old Squaws and Scoters dirty 🔥
@@skunny2797 man that sucks, I've had all clean kills with the shorty 5s.
That 28 ga ethos is sweet and very capable with a good load.
Thanks for the information tony
Keep up the great work
I agree with you 100% however I shoot 12 gauge number fours improved modified or full.
Are you using a T3 in your 20 & 12 gauge? If not what are you using. Thanks. A buddy is using a Rob Roberts Turkey choke in his 20 gauge Benelli with bismuth.It smashes ducks and honkers
i use a beneli on and off and remington 870 12ga
What length barrels on the 20 and 28’s?
The master!
I used bismuth 5s last year with a full choke and was plenty happy with the results. I'm thinking of trying the extra full this season to get the pattern density even greater and reduce cripples further with a clean hit or miss as you point out.
What gauge?
@@austinevans3718 12
@@davidh6396 do you think the same setup with a 20 gauge would work?
I completely agree with you when it comes to patterning a shotgun. It’s essential to know what your shotgun is capable of with certain loads and chokes. However, it doesn’t make a whole Lotta sense to me to shoot three different types of shotguns when a 12 gauge can literally do anything.
A 20 gauge can also
I want the 28 ethos
And after you find out how your gun patterns . Shoot it and shoot it a lot . Get on a clays league .. it helps a ton.
Lets see us a 28 gauge SBE3 🤤
What bolt handle do you have on your m2?
Rob Roberts Custom Gunworks
Thats a tight pattern at 30yd....must be a fairly tight choke
He literally mentions it a few times, he uses the tightest choke he can...
Wonder how much the forcing cones affect the pattern
Definitely do some.
@@tonyvandemore what's your take on the ethos 28ga vs sbe3 28ga? I'd do more field hunting so I wouldn't want to wreck the wood. Plus I thought the 28ga would be awesome for my daughter to start out with. She wasn't found of the 20ga yet at the trap range.
What’s your go to choke
Rob Roberts T3
I use the rob Roberts T2.

Just because you are shooting a tighter choke doesn’t mean your shot is tighter. For example I’m shooting with a browning maxus with a modified choke 3.5 #2 hevi metal longer range and out of my gun it’s way tighter out of a modified choke than an full choke.
No need to use a tight choke , mod or improved cylinder is fine ... make it easier for you to bag more birds
Like he said, he wants a clean kill or a clean miss, shooting a more open choke makes for chasing down a lot of cripple birds as you get less pellets in the bird.
@@chevyon37s all it takes is one bb to hit spinal or brain ... what don’t you understand , pattern your gun with ic choke with 2 shot and you’ll be surprised
@@johndoeglogloku5333 I understand perfectly, and do pattern my guns with many different choke and load combinations. I don’t think you understand. Sure it only takes a lucky pellet, but it’s just that, a lucky pellet. And you have a lot more chances of scoring one of those hits with a more dense pattern. And if you don’t hit the spinal cord or brain you get more pellets in non vital areas causing more trauma and bleeding making for a quicker kill.
I have a camouflage Remington 870 12 gauge with a 3 inch chamber and a 26 inch barrel. I use it for everything and have killed countless birds with it. Using three different types of shotguns for certain applications doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. It’s more expensive because you have to buy three different types of gauges in regard to ammunition. Plus, the cost of the other two guns. Stick with one gun and you’ll know it like the back of your hand. A 12 gauge shotgun is about as versatile and utilitarian as it gets.
I mean... little different. He legit hunts almost every day of the season. Going subgauge helps a ton on reducing west and tear on your body at that age. Additionally, he doesn’t mention upland but lugging around a 12g for half a day in field can wear you down... especially if you’re older.
I love your setup. 26 barrel is awesome. I have A400 30’ barrel and it’s awesome for geese and big ducks. But for upland and most medium sized ducks it can be annoying. Takes a serious effort to work. I’m a bigger dude so it’s fine but again, if I hunted 100+ days a year I’d want to have a specific setup.
So, I like to shoot a 20g for upland... use a old 26” over under browning and that A400 12g for waterfowl. My 2cents, not fact just IMO!
@@bobcostas1331 Yes, those are all good points about using a sub gauge gun. However, that strategy is not for a budget minded hunter. He has easily over $5000 worth of shotguns. When in the field or duck blind, I do not feel any recoil or much noise from the shotgun, frankly. I’m so focused on the duck or goose that I subconsciously block out any outside noises. Sub gauge shotguns are becoming more and more popular every year for good reason. However, I would ideally have to choose a 12 gauge any day of the week.
Ideally, in my humble opinion, less is more regarding the use of shotguns that are used for any type of bird hunting. Just my personal belief.
@@nickyoung6819 I’m so with you. I’m exactly the same, when I’m one the hunt with my A400 I feel connected and all other things like recoil, weight, etc are so far down the line of concerns. Good points and yes LOL that IS $5000 of shotguns haha
