I did a little patterning this morning in between rain showers. I'm using a Nova 12 ga. with a hastings non-ported choke tube. I was shooting 3 in. Winchester Supreme 5 shot. This is a picture of the best pattern out of the three. I had a hard time keeping it steady. The wind was howling around 25-30 mph. Shot was taken at 30 steps. Not the best pattern but hopefully I can get a real feel for how well it does when conditions are a little better.
There is 81 in the cirlcle, 41 in the turkey, and 10 in the red.

If possible; shoot from an improvised bench rest as you would from a rifle. It will make a world of difference. That way you can tell if you need a sight adjustment or not.
