I have to say that's where I feel the shotgun really shines for me. I've been hunting with a shotgun since about 10 years old. I feel very comfortable with it in my hands. In fact, my home defense shotgun is my old standby Remington 1100 that I bought with my own money on my 12th birthday. I've cycled 1000's of rounds through it. Startled, out car windows, off balance, you name it.... At 21 feet, done deal...
