Redkid, What choke you using that's pretty big spread of pellets especially if it was 00 buck.There are 9 pellets in a load.

One question redkid, Would you take that same shot again?
I admit I rushed the shot . I rushed because last time that deer walked to the corn pile I watched them and they never gave me a decent shot. So I didn't shoot at one. The reason I shot is because the deer were perfectly broadside. The pattern was really wide because I hit the other doe that was at least a good 5 foot behinds the other one. I didn't think I would hit both of them and I wasn't trying to. There are 20 pellets in a load.
