Ammo
Non-toxic shot sizes in #1, BB and BBB are most adequate for geese, #2,
& #4 for ducks. Larger shot sizes are not necessary since our shooting is
done at very close range. The advanced technology in recent Steel Shot
developments has made this a deadly choice on waterfowl.
It is illegal to shoot a larger shot size than BBB in Ontario. We suggest
a fast shell in 1450 fps velocity or faster. 50 shells per day is plenty.
Steel and non-toxic shots are available locally, Canada allows 200
rounds per hunter, duty free.
Guns
Your favourite 12 gauge shotgun is recommended. Open chokes
are preferred in Improved Cylinder or Modified. Shooting is done at
close ranges so shorter barrels in 26" or 28" provide for some fast gun
handling. Guns must be plugged to 3 shell capacity.
