The wait for opening day is rough

So I rolled some of these

Your therapy seems to be progressing nicely. What do your 10 & 20 numbers look like?

[mason3toes]

Saturday will be the first time i put any tss on paper. With the heavyweight 7's i was getting 160-170 in the 10 and never really payed much attention to the 20 other than it was somewhat consistent. I will post some pics when i try this choke out with the tss.

Norm, it was windy and cold so I opted to not pattern this weekend. It appears were getting more of the same for the next week or so with some of that illusive Alabama snow coming tonight. I will be sure to post some pics though when I do get some better conditions.

[FullChoke]

Good. Can't wait to see what you get.

That banner fits just right.

I need to do some due diligence on my gun at the range, but both shooting ranges around here are presently under water from the flooding Pearl River.  I have a Truglo SSX, an RSF and a Jellyhead that I want to do some side by side comparisons to determine which one to run with.

It's tolerable right now, but let it start to get warm around here and I will be bouncing off of the walls.

 i have a ssx that was lights out with the heavyweights but i believe it is going to be tighter than i want with the tss.

What load were you shooting through the SSX? Was it straight 7's?

[mason3toes]

Yes the 7's.

[FullChoke]

M3T,

I hope that we will get to drool over some TSS pattern porn soon.   

This weekend's weather (and river levels) look like they will cooperate with patterning efforts

Temperature wise looking real good for this weekend, chance of rain could damper that though. Wife let me know yesterday I have to paint the nursery Sat for my lil man due in May and I already had to help my brother pour concrete. Sunday is the plan for now, after church and I may also go out to the lease and check cameras. 

[mason3toes]

Well I had a little time today and shot one. Not too bad but I don't care for the inconsistency outside of the 10. Gonna try my ssx and borrow a buddies 562 IC and see what those give me.

[FullChoke]

The Pearl River was dropping, but it turns out that the gun range was still a mucky mess, so no shooting this weekend. Just as well, I got a wild hair and ordered a Carlson's .575" choke tube for the 870 and it should be here in time to include it in next weekend's patterning efforts.

Cheers

I'm considering a Carlson's as well.  I think something in the .580 range will give me what im looking for.

[surehuntsalot]

the .575 Carlson and the heavyweight 7's are bad news combined together
