What gauge is your shotgun? What length barrel does it have? What is its choke-full, modified, etc etc?
Does your shotgun except 3 1/4" shells? What distance are we speaking of?
Is you shotgun a pump, semi automatic?
All of these things make a difference. Tell us what you have first, then tell us your usage requirements, then some parameters can be attained.
Please, more info needed.
