It's surprising how different folks' opinion can be on the importance of shot, chokes, etc.
To me, it isn't over-rated.... in fact, it's foolish to suggest otherwise. Todays custom guns and loads have proven to be FAR more than hype.
This pattern was fired from a T/C Encore Pro Hunter 12, an Indian Creek- Black Diamond Strike choke, topped with a TRU Glo Gobble Stopper red dot and shooting 3", 2oz Magnum Blend Hevi-13 loads.
Whats most impressive.... is this pattern, even though just a bit to the right,... was fired by my 9 year old son... from 40 yards!
