[pvalls]

This saturday I will test my new Nova 20ga with 3 inch shell to hunt "Turcas" Dove.

I just what to know your opinion (the hunters) using the Nova with the 3 inch shell.

How the shotgun works? Any problem?

Thanks

Mine always worked fine. I never used 3" for dove though as the 2-3/4" should work just fine.

I will use it to hunt big dove, the size is like the normal dove than you see at the parks. We calling Turca or Rubia and you find it at the mountains in Puerto Rico

The only thing I used 3" shells for in my 20 gauge was when I was using it to hunt Turkey, and some waterfowl. I can't imagine that your dove is any bigger than our regular pigeons and I shot those regularly with 2-3/4" shells without any problems.

Depending upon the load your shooting the 3" 20 ga can be almost equivilent to a 2 3/4" 12 ga, so its good for bigger birds like Pheasant and Turkey. Its up to you if you want the extra edge or not, it wont hurt.
