what shot size should i bring the guys im going with use shot size 4 & 5,s . also im useing 20 gauge. thanks for any info.

i would use 4's... You're not getting the birds back you shoot so the money bird is the one you want.

thanks for the advice[up]

No! Go smaller, like 6 shot. You wouldn't want to get hit with #4 shot when the guys on other side are shooting. Plus some places have restrictions and won't allow pellets that big. Where is the towershoot? You should check with the preserve where the shoot is going down

sorry for the advice. I've used 4 at M&M before.

Clover R&G in Kingwood runs a couple of tower shoots each year and you keep your birds and get one hell of a meal to go with it.

I shot my 20g at a tower shoot once. I used my 12g every time there after. The birds fly kind of high. The 20 will work but I think you will kill more birds with a larger gun. Just my 2¢. Have fun!

Please disregaurd all my post in this thread....

THANKS guys for all the info im gonna bring a 12 gauge and the 20 gauge for afterwards high brass 3 inch for the 12 gauge 7/8 shot or 1 oz shot number 6 or 5 i think 6 hi brass will be fine[confused]. 20 gauge 6 shot 2 3/4[up]will be fine over dog.

I say #6 low brass is fine. I have shot several tower shoots with 12 and 20 ga. Use the full choke during the tower. I have one question where do you buy 3" high brass shells in 7/8 or 1 oz loads? Never heard of that? 20 ga 6 shot for both would be fine with 1 oz loads in low brass.. Last time I used 12 ga for tower I used 6 low brass and mod choke. Had no problem.
One thing to remember about high brass vs low brass is it is alot of marketing..
Now that most are posting the velocity rather then the dram equivalent of powder you can really compare what you are getting for your money. Remington makes a low brass heavy dove load that is equal to alot of the high brass stuff. It has orange stripe on the green box and is alot cheaper..
