i pattern and practice each year, as i don't want to miss again! missed one at 10 yards last season because my doctored up 870 wingmaster shoots a slug at that range! tried to get him on run off, but i short-stroked the pump and caught the ejecting shell. time i cleared it, he was over the ridge. [:@] first miss in 12 turkey and 2 coyotei try all the new shot shells that come out and compare them to the ones i shoot now, and would swap if anything beat the Federals i am now shooting, but that would take some doing. best pattern last year , with witnesses!, at a measured 40 yards was 192 shot in 8x11 turkey head target
