Turkey Target

[fabsroman]

DaMadman,

You have me laughing pretty good. I can't remember how many of those little targets you hit with the 12 ga., but I seriously doubt you would have done any better with the .410. Remember, that pattern that you have on the paper is at something standing still. When a target flies/moves through a shot pattern/string, things can be very different.

By the way, smaller pellets will always pattern worse out of the same choke as larger pellets because they get deformed a lot more in the firing process and they weigh a lot less. Hence, they tend to deflect a lot easier as soon as they encounter air resistance. So, I am not surprised that the 9's patterned terribly.

Jack,

Very good point about the aiming error really coming into play on the edges of the pattern.
