disappointed........

I' m very disappointed in the way my 1187 is shooting. I went out yesterday and destroyed my shoulder shooting all different kinds of loads seeing what worked best. I' ve narrowed it down to Winchester Hi-V #5 and #6 1 3/4oz load. The #6 was great at 30yards but $!*# at 20 and 40. The#5' s was great at 20 and 40yards but $!*# at 30. I' m not sure if choke tubes can wear out or that maybe my barrels is too short and it' s not holding a tight pattern. I' m confused and disappointed!

So still not 100% happy with the pattern, I went to my buddies shop and ordered a new Kicks tube (I think it was the .655) hoping this helps, I also bought a new gun. After I' m done posting here I have to head outside to my new bed[:' (]. I bought the 870 Express Super Magnum, the same model I just sold four months ago to get the 1187. I don' t know exactly why I sold it in the first place, it was the best turkey gun I' ve owned. I need to give this turkey hunting stuff up, it' s going to make me single again and I' ve worked so hard getting my wife to put up with my obsession!.
