I have 1100s in 12(3), 20, 28, & 410. Before cataracts, I did pretty goodopening day of dove season. I load my own shells and was killing birds at 40+ yards. I was shocked to hit them that far away.

I have a Versa Max I use for duck, geese, and pheasant.

FYI, if ya'll are having a hard time with a shotgun, it probably needs to be fitted to your particular arm, neck, weight, and head. I have had a gunsmith near Eatonton fit all of mine. It makes a huge difference. Off the shelf shotguns are made for a person 5' 9" and 160-170#. So unless you are an instinct shooter, you will more than likely have trouble.
