Went To The Range
 
Took my Mossberg 835 to the range yesterday. This shotgun I purchased new like 14 plus years ago, and I just put on the fiber optic sights, & wanted to see how it shot with them on, also I have the Indian Creek Choke Tube in it.

I shot the following:

Winchester Suprems, 3.5", 2oz., #5

Hevi-Shot 13, 3.5", 2-1/4oz., both in #5 & 6

The best was the Winchesters, the the Hevi-Shot #5 then the #6
All the shots where taken at 35 yds., all 3 would kill a turkey beyond the 35 yds., but out of the 3 the Winchesters shot the best

I've been thinking of trying an Indian Creek myself for coyotes.What's the constriction of that choke?

I been using the Win. Supremes in 3" with pretty good results. I am using my 18" Accu-Choke barrel with an Undertaker choke tube with my Mossy 500. I am good out to 35 yards and then lose it. However, I limit my shots to about 30 yards anyways. I may get a 24"barrel later, as I would like to try out some sabots for deer hunting. Thanks for the info.
