Shotgun Pattern
I am new to turkey hunting (Only 3 years, first year was bow only, last year and this year with bow and shotgun). Decided this year I would try to really pattern my shotgun and this is my setup and a pic of my best group (between 5 different types of ammo,an expensive day at the range).
Mossberg 835
Indian Creek Choke Tube
Hevi-Shot 3.5" #6 2.25oz
180 hits inside 8" circle @ 40 yards (measured by stepping off and Nikon 440 rangefinder)
Whole Target measures 8 3/8" squared, there are total 212 hits
Using only a front sight bead, plan on getting a new sight eventually
I don' know exactly what would be considered a good group.
