"Today I am here to talk to you about shotguns and I have brought and example of one right here. I will tell you a little bit about them and how they work, what we use them for, how they are used as a hunting tool and how they can be really enjoyable. This here is a 12 gage. It's one of many gages that you can use while hunting with a shotgun. You know in regards to having the best shot, what is the best shotgun size and best ammo. You know that is really tough to answer because it all depends on what you're hunting. The 12 gage is probably the most popular all around used gun because it is so versatile; it can be used for so many things. My first gun was a 410 and while that's a small shotgun with a much smaller shot size or a much smaller shotgun shell, it's still very effective in use for upland game. 20 gage and 16 gages are also very popular and I also have a 10 gage that I use that will bring down bigger game like heavy duty geese and things like that."
