Understanding what's on the box: SHOTGUN SHELLS 101

The Outdoor News Junior Pro Team got the lowdown from Dan Compton of HEVI-SHOT on what exactly those numbers on the outside a box of shotgun shells actually mean! From 10, 12 or 20 gauge shotgun shells, Dan breaks down the elements that help you choose the right box of ammo for upland bird hunting or waterfowl hunting. He covers what makes up the "gauge", what the length means, shot charge, and the all-important velocity factor. Plus, ever wondered why sometimes you have more recoil hitting your shoulder? He covers that too!
