Let’s see those patterns.

28 yards (shooting off of my trailer railing as a rest) 3 1/2 inch Kent #5s- 2 1/4oz “diamond shot” I had to move my add on rear sight back to lower the pattern to get on target because it was a bit high. Almost to much shot on target I have the same shells in 3 inch.



Italian slug rear site the best I found made for the the Italian thinner brand shotgun ribs but with a little filing and it fits a Versa Max no problem.

hopefully Friday after work I can try out the new chokes

Opens here Sat I have a local tag then 2 trips to the Black Hill SD/WY then off to MO and and back for another local tag. Pumped

Here you go Law Dog. Going to try and take a turkey with Moms old 1950ish JC Higgins Mod 20 12 ga. 2 3/4 1 3/8 oz nickle plated #6 hand load. 35 yard shot. My first season starts Monday
J

870 With hevi shot choke and hevi shot duplex load at 25 yards . I am looking forward to the start of turkey hunting

Looking good it looks like the weather will be about perfect on Saturday.

I found everything looked good at 25 yards , but at 35 yards #5 Rem nitro turkey stood out of what I shot

4 & 6 game heavy game loads, 4 turkey and 5 turkey

How does them kinda turkeys taste ? 😂
LOL...just had to say that...lol

870 410 fixed full choke. #10 tss at 40 yards.

Don't get much better than that, nice full pattern impressive.

Cant believe that's not censored !! PORN !!! PORN !!

X2 25 yards with a 3 1/2 any size shot or shell should cut the head off . Don't know about you guys but unless he sneaks in behind me he ain't getting within 25 yards before I shoot !!!

I’m using the same old model JC Higgins in 12 gauge. It likes #5 shot.

It fun to watch them dance so I'm in no hurry unless they start to walk off.

Shot it again today. Pretty much the same. 201 in the 10" and 137 in the 10"-20". Loaded up ten more of them so my boy is ready. My 301 already has a load it likes. Gonna work on a LC Smith in the morning if the weather cooperates. Pretty sure it will be a 25-30 yard max tho. I will try to post those patterns.

I don't have any 3 1/2 guns , 2 3/4 and 3 only

Franchi affinity with a Indian Creek .665 6 shot winchester xr had 175 pellets in a 10 inch circle at 40 yards. Not really impressed out past that. It's got a few holes in the pattern but I think it will do the job.

With the TSS and other Super Shots.... I have no idea why anyone would pack a 3 1/2" gun thru the woods.

Take a trip out West...a little 20ga will become your best friend, lol.
