I live here in Iowa and everybody knows its a shotgun state. I shoot a Supernova slug gun. I bought it yesterday. I shot SSt's and Core lokts at 100 yards with open sights. Each produced 1 to 1 1/2 inch groups! Used to have original Nova slug, but sold it. it loved buckhammers and lightfields. But my SuperNove is better. But no, I would prefer slug guns over rifles just because I love them.
