How many of you guys use a two-holer on ducks?

I've got one I take every now and again. My girl shoots one for all of her hunts.

Took a look at the Yildiz Special in 12ga. yesterday and was actually impressed with it. Briley makes chokes for it, too. I briefly considered it, but I make the third shot count pretty frequently and I'd hate to give it up.

My dad shots a Ruger RL when duck and goose hunting. He's left handed.

for shooting ducks over decoys 2 shots is plenty, I have found, at least in my case, that the 3rd shot is a waste of a shell. Sometimes taking a shot that I shouldn't.

I did it my very first outing,


but switched to something more suited for duck hunting vs upland game

That is why I was looking at Yildiz and not a Superposed, haha.

Browning Citori Lightning for me. 12ga. Best shooting gun I have ever put in my hand. I also have found that without the third shot, I focus on shooting more accurate which has made me a much better shooter.

No way dude! Don't get me wrong, it's sporting an all, but I cherish every second I'm out there. I'm thankful for every duck that comes in range and there is no way that I'm going out there with 66% capacity of what I'm allowed.

I have a O/U for dove hunting, that's good enough for me.

I agree, maybe I'll find an O/U that fits for waterfowl

Looked at one of those today...pretty nice. The one I looked at was black but had a crazy recoil and chin pad and a 3.5" chamber.

We were just getting started last season and had to buy guns. I looked hot and heavy at the Mossberg Silver Reserve and really wanted one(still do today). We wound up with 870's for our duck guns.
We do a lot of trap and skeet shooting and I have a lot a friends that own two holers. They are some sweet shooting guns.
I sure wish I could afford to buy a Browning Citori 625 Sporting with the adjustable comb for the range. Niiiice!

The 12 gauge Yildiz's kick like a mule without shooting duck loads, so I would be hesitant to purchase one if ducks were the primary game it would be used on. I have one and really like the gun, but I am not going to shoot anything heavier than 1 1/8 loads out of it, and that is even with an aftermarket Limbsaver pad on it.

If I was getting an inexpensive O/U for duck hunting I would look long and hard at the Remington Spartans. They are Russian-made and not real pretty, but they are built for abuse and are heavy enough that they may soak up some of the heavy recoil from waterfowl loads.
