132 in 10" circle 36 of my steps
173 in 20" circle
52 degrees, 2-3 mph wind.
Barrel has not been touched at all. Only the second shot from the box new.
Will be adding a holo sight, probably going to try another choke.
God Bless,

i just bought this exact gun for my 7 year old son. Its a very nice gun but does kick like a mule for a young guy due to its light weight. However, i have him on the new Federal heavy weight loads that are 2.75" with 1 1/8oz of #7's and they shoot great and don't kick as bad. Its for sure a 30-35 yard gun with that load. Need to get him a seat belt though so he can stay in his turkey seat after the shot. :fud:

Yes,
It does kick a little. Figured the turkey shell would only be put in during the turkey hunt, and have her shoot the dove loads for practice. :angel9:
Do you go by the name Dendy?

that is what i planned too. Just bought some light target loads for practice then going to sneak in the heavy shot (and seat belt) for the hunt. :)
Watch that choke with anything but lead!
