any feedback on 3 shot would be appreciated.

It's kinda between #2's and #4's.

Seriously though, I know more than a couple guys that shoot them very religiously.

#3 is a very popular duck shot size. You're really splitting hairs when you start talking about the actual shot efficiency of the shells in a 2 vs 3. 2s are a liiitle bit better, and their down range knockdown power comes into play more with big ducks and geese, but if you were hunting somewhere with a lot of teal and woodies, 3s would make sense. I shoot 3s right now but my next case will be 2s for big ducks and 4s for early season Bwt.

I have used primarily Kent Steel 3's for the last 15 years. It's an excellent shot. As an aside I also know of a high ranking WLF duck guy who shoots them religiously or at least used to also.

Damn, ya'll use some big shot. I use 6s for teal, sometimes 4s, and 4s for big ducks. Rarely do I use 2s. Shoot 3" and 2 3/4" shells, too.

I mainly use 3 ½ T shot

Just kidding. I use 5 & 6's for teal and generally switch out 2's and 4's based on what's flying. I have a box of 3's but I've never shot them.

I have a ton of BB shot for all the geese up here though

All i shoot is #3

That's all i ever use. 3" number 3's

All I shoot if I can find it.

Thats all i buy if it is available. Its perfect
