Proper technique goes a long way no matter the endeavor. It's no different for shooting a shotgun. And who better to learn from than the Shotgun Training Education Coordinator for the Wildlife Department?
Shotguns are a versatile choice for Oklahoma hunting, especially for migratory and upland birds and small game. A shotgun typically shoot a spread of small projectiles instead of a rifle’s single bullet. This increases the chances of hitting a moving target. They also have a smooth barrel inside. Shotgun styles allow a wide variety of choices, including the gauge, the type of choke and the type of action. Shotguns can also fire a single projectile, called a slug, which is similar to a rifle bullet. Want more on shotguns? We got you covered. Click here and scroll to page 30.
