Here you go Shawn:



That's a fairly dense pattern. Much better than the pattern I'm getting at 37.5 yards with my current setup. Did you count how many hits you had in the circle?

Well it's a good pattern and 195 hits isn't bad at all. But if you want to optimize the preformance of your gun thn spend a few more bucks on 4 Nitros. I know you've probably seen the discussions about this so dont say anything. Trust me, hunter to hunter, Nitros are the BEST.

Looks pretty good to me, you're right, the gun is shooting a little high assuming the black dot is your aiming point. As long as you see afew inches of neck above your front sight when you squeeze the trigger, that pattern will do the trick.

shooting really high at 40 but that is a great pattern. Even and dense. do you have a scope or sight adjustment? I'd lower that. Must be way over his head at 20 and 30. You have found a great choke/load combo but did you try those yardages?

Just put the 'ol bead on the bottom of the wattles and touch the trigger.
