Be honest have you ever patterened your gun?

[Hammer as guest]

In over 25 years of hunting I can not ever remember pattering my gun.

This is my first questions.

This is my second question

Yes. SBE with 3" 3s at 35 yds high & left , About 4" high ,And 10" left. With 3.5" tripple bb's at 45yds it is low left . 2" left , 4" low. When I shot i ajust for this and get very few crips.

I have a SBE egal and can hit tihngs good but after that post I think I should patterne it.

With all of the pellets how did you determine the actual center to see how far off it was?

Thanks

yes

yes

Yep- Patterned my M2 with the Pattern Master, that's how I figured out it wasn't working. I have where most guys love theirs, I wonder if I happened to get a bad one.

Yes- I pattern all of my shotguns with the diffrent loads.

The onlu gun I have even patterned is my SBE, which I use for every kind of shooting and hunting I do except for bowhunting (Hoyt Ultratec). The only time I ever patterned my gun was when I got a new turkey choke tube and I patterned it. But I did buy a Briley light modified this year and am going to pattern it this spring. I also am going to pattern my PM that I just got.

in my mind its almost a waste of time and shells to pattern your gun. i dont think that they dont make chock tubes to sux, so i just go with it. just my oppinion. i know i can hit stuff but if i miss i dont really blam it on anything or anyone but myself.

[black feet down]

yes!!! you would be amased what you learn "paper testing" a shotgun, i shot 11 diff. rounds in my 870-patternmaster this fall some were great some piss poor, but i know now what the gun likes. 3.5-1.5 oz.#2 or bb'out to 40 yrds.=carnage 8) if the guy holding the gun has his game on :shock:
