Title: Pattern Thoughts? 10" and 20"
Post by: Hardtime_NC on March 15, 2011, 06:04:07 PM
After reading carefully some of the recent posts and shooting some of these tight patterning guns at closer ranges I have come to realize that all of the testing I have done trying to get very high numbers in the 10" at forty yds may really not be the best thing.  Just to be honest I shot my gun at twenty yds and there is NO room for error which kind of worries me.  Its almost like shooting a rifle.  So I guess my question is what kind of numbers in the 10" and 20" would be the perfect hunting pattern with 7's?  Maybe just a percentage?

Thanks

Really depends on what you want, some will say about 50% in the 10 at 40 and even 20" coverage.  Hard for me to give a number, just have to look at the pattern coverage.
