Title: Win Long Beards, WOW!
Post by: HogBiologist on April 05, 2015, 08:55:07 PM
Got to shoot my Long Beards this afternoon. All I can say is wow. Pics to come later.


My set up is as follows:

Mossberg 835
Carlsons extended turkey choke .690
Pro Point Red Dot
Winchester Long Beards 3.5" 2oz #6
40 yards, tape measured.
Temp 57
High humidity and occasional light mist/sprinkle.

Shot one was low and right, counted 191 in the 10. There was 11 total in the CNS. Dead turkey. 


Shot two (after sight adjustment) was a tad left. Counted 232 in the 10. There was again 11 in the CNS.


The pellets all passed through the 3/8" gypsum board sheet rock.


Shells and wads.
