Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose #5 over #4 shot for pheasant? #5 shot offers a denser pattern with more pellets than #4, trading a small amount of per-pellet energy for a better chance of solid hits at typical field ranges.

Why choose a heavier payload for pheasant hunting? A heavier payload like 1-3/8 ounce puts more pellets in the air, which helps connect on wild-flushing, late-season birds that have already been pressured by other hunters.
