Using a 3 shot gun is basically a confession that you have difficulty hitting the target , hence you just blast some shells out and hope something falls. "Hunters" use over and under, and rarely fire the second shot, unless they want to score a double. . BS

Sometimes I only shoot one duck with one shell, but I normally make it up with 3 ducks with one shell.

I mainly use a beretta A300 outlander, but I have shot my share of ducks with a browning silver hunter 20 gauge.

For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I used to us a stephens 20 gauge pump but then I was given a Benelli supersport 20 gauge by a friend. He said I should be "pimpin" on the dove field if I was going to be out shooting his clients. It made them feel bad I could do better with a $150 gun than they did with guns that cost thousands. I only duck hunted 2 times with it. No body I know likes duck hunting and guides here require a group.

Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

If you ain't huntin' over dekes like these, you're just a poser. Been using painted water bottles and if they ain't close enough to kill them with a rock then you are just sky blastin. In all seriousness I started out with a break over 20 gauge, pump 20, bought a semi auto browning silver in college then the new A5 about 10 years ago which I love. A couple years ago I bought the cynergy waterfowl addition and I like it also. The problem with O/Us is they are a pain in the butt hunting out of A frames and/or smaller blinds to load and maneuver. I pretty much only use the cynergy every once in a while dove hunting.
