True, Chuck, about shooting what makes us feel good but doesn't that throw this wonderful discussion to the winds? What makes me feel good is clean kills, maybe follow-up shot or two. One bad day about 25 years ago with the 20 on ducks put me off the 20 in the blind for 15 years. ( With 3-inch, it's my go-to gun now.) The 28ga in any form is off my list. I'm scared of a repeat on wild pheasants and ducks.
