Summary

Sub-gauge shotguns offer a slightly different experience when duck hunting than a 10 or 12 gauge can and it’s hard to explain until you just go out and try it. Joey and Cal have been trying different things all year and we’ve been shooting 20’s for some time. This year we tried out a Weatherby Orion 28 SxS and a .410 and absolutely loved using these guns. We talk about the fun of using a smaller gauge gun and what the pros are. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review! New Waterfowl Film out now!

0:36.9	No, I shot the 28.
0:37.9	Can you tell me what you've thought about hunting with a 410?
0:42.2	Because obviously, much smaller bullet.
0:46.8	So just talk us through a little bit of your experience with the 410.

1:03.5	So now that we are educated on that, shooting the 410 and a 20...
1:07.8	You said bullet.
1:11.2	It's okay. It's your first time. So, um, when you're shooting these bullets, it's really cool. There's literally no kick. It's really weird. The first day, me shooting the 28 gauge, I was kind of surprised like, I was expecting kick. You know how you like like you just like kind of jerk and you expect
