Could we create a shotgun basics sticky? We often find ourselves explaining the same basic principles over and over. It's good for newbies to know these things, but it may be best to condense these things with a link round up.
I have made such threads a few times, would be more than happy to make a complete and polished thread, if someone would sticky it.
I would also LOVE to do a home defense shotgun recommendation thread with options and prices from a variety of brands.
Thoughts? Opinions?

If the information is often sought, it should be there to be found.
I agree to a point that many people click on the thread, but a very high percentage do not mine the pertinent information in that thread for the solution to their problem.Instead they start a new thread dealing with the issue, and even then after being directed repeatedly to the stickies the thread might go on for several pages.
I don't expect that a basics sticky in the shotgun forum would command any more respect or authority than it does in the AK or Mosin Nagant forum, and that is ok too.
I believe the sticky in the AK forum at least accomplishes a lot. At very least it's easy to go to it and link in the info, but it seems to prevent a lot of questions. Questions found in the stickies are rarely asked, but not totally avoided.

Hi. I've got this 12 caliber shotgun I won in a hamster fight. the other day I noticed that CR123 batteries fit down the barrel real nice. I was wondering if I could put 3-4 on top of a bullet to increase my odds when I start duck hunting this year. Any thoughts?
