Benelli Nova w/ Longbeards
« on: March 21, 2014, 02:19:51 PM »
What is your guys opinion on this 40 yard pattern? I was shooting a Benelli Nova 28" Barrel, Redhead Blackout .665, Winchester Longbeard XR 3.5" #6. I got 107 in the 8" circle on the target.

Why shoot a 3.5"? Because they don't make a 4".

Looks good! Good hunting pattern.
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

I'd say it's time to heat up the fryer...
shoot first, measure spurs later

That would be one dead turkey!
