ammo question

Recommended Posts

what type of hunting do you do? This is going to decide what # of shot and if you need lead or steel shot.

 

I am looking to stock up on a wide rage, I want to be ready incase Giant Eagle is not open anymore and I have to go find my own dinner :)

 

I don't know anything really about ammo hence the very vauge questions.

Get a bow, when that time comes the last thing i want to do is give my position away while hunting.

 

These are the typical shot sizes generally a 6 will do for just about anything. Are you using a 2 3/4 or 3in chamber or both?

 

Rabbit 6 to 7½

Quail, dove, 7½ to 8

Rabbit 6 to 7½

Squirrel 6

Geese BB to 2 TT to 1

Ducks, low 4 to 6 2 to 4

Ducks, high 2 to 4 BB to 2

 

Also when hunting water fowel you are going to need steel shot.

 

 

Also, learning how to properly field dress an animal is key.
