Longbeard pattern.
« on: March 21, 2017, 04:39:01 PM »
Not to bad a pattern and fairly even, 157 in the 10 at 40 yds, not hardly as good as Heavyweight 7. BUT, a 1 1/4 oz of 6's for the Longbeards and 1 1/2 of 7 with the heavies. Only getting around 10 more holes in the 10 with HW.

Haymaker .560 choke, Rem. 1100 youth model 20ga.

That's probably one of the best lead 20 ga. patterns I've ever seen. It won't cause me to change from TSS or HW's as my backup, but it's good to know that there is a commercially available lead shell out there that can do this. Thank you for the picture.

Where can you find 20ga longbeards ? I have looked for them online and in stores and cannot find any. Would love to try them.

I agree turkey season is in full swing down south. They had all year to get the ball rolling why do company's struggle to get products out on time...

I know fellas very frustrating I am having the same problem with the heavyweights. I picked my 20 ga longbeards up at the NWTF convention in Feb. They had a pallet of them when I was there on Friday and I think they sold out.

Very nice pattern in my opinion I know we all strive for good pattern at 40 but I never shoot one past 35 yds usually .
