Ladies and Gentlemen:

My experience in waterfowl hunting is almost nil, but I want to change that this year.

I am an old shotgun fan (just got rid of my 686 Onyx Beretta 3.5"), and would like to get a 12 gauge Browning A5 to hunt ducks and geese. I will be buying an older Belgium made one.

1. What choke would you recommend for ducks and geese?

2. What shot can I use that will not ruin the barrel?

3. Do I need 3" capability, or is 2 3/4" enough?

4. Do I need two A5's with different chokes, one for geese and one for ducks?

{I posted this in bird shooting, too.}

Sincerely,

Chris Bemis
