I own quite a few side by sides. Ive always hunted grouse, pheasant and woodcock. Ive recently started bowhunting whitetail and i questioned whether or not you can shoot slugs safely thru side by sides? Most of my guns have 2 1/2 chambers and i saw the other day that 2 1/2 slugs are available.Ive never shot slugs and i guess i have the impression that there would be alot more recoil than the bird loads i shoot, potentially damaging stocks and whatnot, do any of you guys have any experience with this?


A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
