BB too large for ducks?

Postby Rogmatt » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:14 pm

I fly out tomorrow for my first duck hunting trip. The only shells Academy had left in 3" was BB 1 3/8 oz so I got them. No 1s or 2s left.
Will I be handicapped?

I've killed'em with BB's and BBB's. I prefer 2's. If you got ducks to shoot at you can wack'em with either.

I like #3's for big dux...#4's for smaller ones. I use BB for smaller geese. If your shooting longer shots, you should be ok. Id try ta find a Wall Mart along the way and check em out, but, I wouldnt cancel my trip over it...Good luck :wink:

BB is all my brother has shot this year and he has loved it. He hits ducks with it and they dead as hell. None of this cripple mess.

shoot'em

Postby gunner » Mon Jan 23, 2006 6:33 am

that's all i shoot. i usually buy the winchester HV's 1550 fps.. I kill (not cripple) more ducks with these shells than any other i've ever used. cleaned many ducks as a result of these shells and the meat is not messed up that bad either, and i like to decoy them when i can.. you just have to shoot'em in da beak.
Be where they want to be..

If I have to shoot steel, I shoot BB's. They will do just fine for you.
