If your interested in learning to shoot, I would highly recommend going to the range with different buddies...ones that will take the time and actually teach you. Find someone to teach and explain what you need to know before hitting the firing line. Learn proper stance, trigger control, sight picture etc. There's so many 'know it all's' that shove so much info so fast at new shooters that they get discouraged. Avoid the commando's. I'd recommend possibly looking for a Certified Instructor. I'd be happy add a link you can use to get a list of instructors in your area if you are ever interested.

[@PaulHarrell]

I can't tell about safe to shoot w/o looking at it. Yes barrels can be re-finished or re-blued. Or sometimes they can be replaced. bottom line is if you're not sure it's safe then don't shoot it and take it to a gun smith.

[@Satchmoeddie]

An Auto 5 is probably safe to shoot, but I'd have a gunsmith (A competent gunsmith who has shotgun experience, NOT some glorified Glock armorer) take a look at it. My father shot magnum loads through an 1895 LeFever Damascus Barrel SxS Gade C Skeet gun, and the only damage was to the lock work. The barrels are still in great shape, and this gun was made to shoot 2 1/2 inch black powder shells, NOT 3" magnum shells.

[@TheKentuckyPatriot]

I love guns period but, my all time favorite is the shotgun, I think it is because of its versatility. I enjoyed this video as I do all your videos. I would just like like to say, I made a ballistics video in which I used a shotgun to shoot water jugs to show the differences in birdshot, buckshot, and a slug. I realize you can have over penetration issues in a home defence situation but when shooting the jug with a slug it completely blew the jug off camera. So I think the use of a slug for home defence is a great use for a slug not just to hunt deer. A one ounce slug at close range moving that fast makes a great option for home defence in my opinion. I'm not knocking birdshot or buckshot but when people see the results of the slug at close ranges I think the 1 ounce rifled slug is an option that gets overlooked a lot.

[@prestochango1800]

One other factor while choosing shot size for hunting that I didn't hear mentioned is the reality of cleaning game. I will shoot squirrels or rabbits with #6 shot, and high brass (if available) vs bird shot, like my friend. While cleaning game, it's impossible to remove all the shot from my friends quarry. You just learn to spit out the shot as you eat it and hope you don't crack a tooth. My shells have less shot per round so I have a lower probability of a successful kill or can mess up the game if I get a square hit. I try to aim just off the nose and have had a lot of success. And if I do get a shot or two in the meat, I cut an X over the hole and extract the shot. It's a bit more work up front, but my squirrels dont feel like they are loaded with ticks when I retrieve them either. Thanks for another awesome video. I will be showing this to my kids when they are ready to shoot shotguns one day. Thanks again.

Great info. I never realized that shot size deducted from .177 to give u the caliber of the pellet. I just always looked at a shotshell ballistics table. For what it's worth, i have found that imp cyl choke seems to be best for defensive use. My 20" 870 "deer" barrel (factory rifle sights) throws good, relatively tight buckshot patterns and has great slug accuracy with the IC choke. Many defensive type shotguns (almost all of which are fixed choke) seem to be going to IC barrels. So maybe the manufacturers' tests have borne this out as well. I also get very good slug groups with the simple, barrel mounted iron sights. Ghost rings tend to be a little better for rapid defensive use, however. Anyway, just a bit of info that might help some folks. STAY SAFE!

I know this is an old video and they are not common but the one thing I didn't hear you mention in the video is a Poly-choke. For anyone interested a Poly-choke is an external device that was placed on the end of the shotgun barrel at the factory, or could be added afterwards, that basically took the place of the removable choke tubes. It gives you the ability to change your choke pattern on the fly without having to remove and replace the choke tube. You just turn the device until the choke you wish to use is the one that is marked. They are ugly as sin in my opinion, but I would be lying if I said that they were not useful. I'm pretty sure they are still available today if it sounds like something you are interested in. The one my uncle had was on the end of a Ted Williams auto-loader.

I'm a teenager and looking to buy my first gun but I don't know a lot about firearms. Your videos are very well done, you seem like a very knowledgeable man.
