Mark and I went out back of my place today to pattern in our scatter guns. Me, because it’s my first time chasing gobblers, mark got a new rig and needed to test it.
I have a Mossberg 500 that I have a blackmaxx turkey choke in. Refer to a previous thread on the other system being used.
We used both TSS and 5, 6, 7 hevi shot, and neither of us felt great past 20 yards. We shot from a sled, off hand and seated using our knees as a brace. Outside of 20 yards, almost all shots would be non- lethal if not complete misses.
I was consistently high left regardless of hold beyond 20 yards. And even within 20 the shot pattern was not as tight as “advertised”
Any thoughts on this? If sure like to feel more comfortable taking a poke beyond 20 yards and as of now, I’m not.
