Title: Which pattern
Post by: JodyPenny on April 13, 2021, 07:08:33 PM
Which pattern would you rather hunt with. Both are shot with Federal Heavyweight #7 at 40 yards. This is the tight choke barrel of my over under. I have a open barrel for close range but the tight pattern falls apart after 40. I think the choke is to tight and needs to be a little bigger.

Both will certainly kill. I would choose #1. I do not normally like to shoot past 40 yards even with TSS

I think you've accidentally posted the same photo twice. They're identical patterns.

Your right. Looks like something happen. Here's the other pattern. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210413/f0bfb21cfcbe5d6cff345fa7cde4bef2.jpg)

That first post, the 197, is a lot fuller pattern. I'd hunt that for sure.

Here's a Turkey target I shot. Pulled a little high right at 40 but still a dead Turkey. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210415/5a4aedea9a68487f1c42109574762bba.jpg)
