Sounds good. 


I bet the shoot better in the daytime.  40night yds sounds pretty tough.

Smart  phones are not as smart as they should be! That should have been lasered not night! LOL!

We were shooting both 3" and 3 1/2" 6's! They really like a jellyhead choke!

No.  Federal uses the FCW in the Mag-Shok lead and HVW

SBE2 with Jelleyhead .660 constriction 3 1/2" #6 did not like the 3" #6
Mossy 500 with Jellyhead .660 constriction 3" #6
Charles Daly with Jellyhead .660 constriction 3" #6 did not like 3 1/2" #6
Mossy 835 with Stardot 3 1/2" #6 did not like 3" #6
Browning A5 with Carlson Rifled choke 3" #6
Winchester 1300 with Jellyhead .660 constriction 3" #6

Mossy 500, Mossy 835, Charles Daly were all polished
Browning and SBE2 were deep cleaned
Winchester was only cleaned
All guns were Boresnaked between each shot and swabbed!
A very nice shell especially for the money!!!
Don't know how to post pictures of targets!

The problem with the night birds is seeing them after you hit them but you get better at it with practice! The worst thing is trying to dodge them when they fall out of the tree!
