Just had some smaller square to rectangular
Cardboard to shoot.
Calculated a 10" and 20" circle:
Same square inches as shooting a 8.75" square
Inside a 17.75" square.
Just incase anyone was wondering.
Pie are squared?
Maybe in Mississippi. In Florida, pie are round.
:TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
Circles just seems best for comparison between guns and loads for consistency. 10"circle at 40 yards is a 10" circle across the whole world and no matter where you are or what you shoot it gives everyone an idea how it performs and you can compare your own gun and load to the rest of the "EXPERTS". Circles also have the same distance from center while squares do not and can make a difference in the #'s AND MY PIE PLATES ARE ROUND & 10" LOL! BUT HEY IF IT WORKS FOR YOU AND ITS NOT BROKE DONT FIX IT!
Cause turkeys aren't in season yet.
I'm no good at drawing hexagons.
Yall pretty funny. Lol
Most of the patterns I have shot have been kinda roundish. Circles just seem to fit better. Now if they made a square gun barrel with square turkey loads and we might start shooting square targets. :toothy9:

Most patterns are round unless there are some serious problems. Measuring with a circle is just kind of natural.
you guys are silly :goofball:
everyone knows that every hunt camp has at least one 10" skillet to draw around with a pencil.
THERE HAS BEEN A TIME OR TWO OR A FEW WINDOWS THAT IVE HAD TO SHOOT AND THEY WHERE
:o. SQUARE. :icon_thumright:
through the trees
Barrels are round. There for your patten is supposed to be round. A circle is the best way to gather data on how a gun, choke, and load performs.
For me it is an easy way to break down my pattern, and find the center of it. Once I center it I can move to the poi I want.
I wouldn't and couldn't be bothered to waste my time counting holes in a circle.I put a turkey target up and shoot from 10-50 yards,if i like pattern,i go kill birds,still waiting for a gobbler to care.

You see you're simple minded. Turkeys don't care but the diners may. The patterns spread a longer range n with a square pattern we could work on keeping the bottom of the pattern off the breast. Better eating. Of course if the bird is walking up or down a steep hill we'd need to cant the gun accordingly

Lol... funniest thing I've read all week.
Watch....now somebody is going to come out with a square barrel and square shells.
Turkeys don't have square corners!

I kinda agree with just shooting a target and going hunting.
BUT, when setting up a new gun, it is really nice to know what the numbers are, look for holes in the pattern and get the load, choke and gun set just right. After all that, it really makes no difference if you are shooting birds up close and personal. Although, with my new 20 I had a public land bird at 37 steps and I had never shot it at a live turkey. Because of my patterning I had the confidence to take the shot and know I was not gonna cripple a bird. He was delicious. Subsequent kills with that gun have been in 20 gauge 7.5 lead shot ranges, but it is nice to know where I am comfortable.

Actually they are 25.4 centimeters in a large part of the world. :goofball:

Shooting a large target and drawing a circle around the most dense part of the pattern helps to ensure POA and POI match, something you may not get with the smaller turkey targets. The counting holes thing is just for fun/ bragging rights.
