Shot shell? - 01/19/18 12:54 AM
So there is an argument on a Ft Hood hunting page. The book states that one of the areas on Ft Hood is Bow only except for small game you can use shot shell. Now when I hear shot shell that means a shell that contains shot as in birdshot or buckshot. A slug is a projectile not considered shot. Now there are a couple guys saying its confusing because shot shell is any shell shot from a shotgun which I don't believe to be true as I have looked up the definition of shot shell. I also brought up that hand guns can shoot shot shells as in snake or rat shot but its considered a shot shell because it contains SHOT and not a projectile. So am I wrong in saying the term shotshell clearly is referring to birdshot or buckshot and not slugs contained in a shotgun shell?
