One reason that program made me appreciate the man's honestly about the bess was I owned a 62 caliber smooth bore barrel. I tried every kind of load from it and the best I could get out of it was about 35/40 yards. I purchased the gmb because on a different forum, there was a few members that bragged 75 yard paper plate or better accuracy. I was determined to be able to do the same thing. I never was able to come close. And then this weapons expert missed a good man sized target at 50 yards. Made me wonder, was I all that bad?

I will say that smooth bore was a great little shotgun. And I always felt I could have harvested a deer with the gun.
