[QUOTE="deerfever, post: 5294301, member: 13434"] Guilty! I have lifted my head up to watch him flop only to realize when he ran off the mistake that I had made. I was also the guy way back when that didn't pattern my shotgun, I think we all assumed many years ago that it would just shoot POA. Fortunately for me I shot a Mossberg 835 with a stick of dynamite in it and had no issues. Now I probably pattern overkill with my guns as I have already checked them. I bet you would be surprised how many people still never pattern their gun then wonder why a miss occurs. I shoot turkey chokes but not the super tight , mine are 575 and a couple 580. I have been told so many times you could get that" tighter". No thanks the more open pattern is better for hunting in my opinion. I started my son with modified choke and Federal HVW #7 2 3/4. He wasn't shooting over 30 yards and it more than did the trick when he was 7 and would still do the trick if I had any of the shells left. [/QUOTE]
