Natalie's Numbers

[MK-M-GOBL]

As you can see there’s only really two worth double checking. The third target has better numbers but the pattern just isn’t making me jump for joy. The last two targets (Remington loads) might work if I lower the sights on it but I’d only do that if the first target (Hevi Shot loads) don’t look good at 30/35 yards. Their total numbers were much better than the others. If it was your gun, which two loads would you check out further?

Get my truck back from the paint shop and I’ll double check both guns one more time. The smoke pole will have to sit this season unless I have time in May. I wish I didn’t put off ordering my Nitros Next year I'll order them in the fall so that way I'll have them

I had straight #6 last year for Natalie and they worked awesome! I'd like to try the straight #7 but feel I'd need more than one to test. How much for 9 of 20ga loads?

Well I got to the range this afternoon to double check my patterns. I must say it was a struggle with boy boys but I finally done and 100% ready for Monday morning! Not posting up all the target photos this time but I will post up what “Natalie” did at 40 yards. Both guns are really spitting good right now.

I feel extremely bad for any gobbler that shows himself 30 yards and under. His head is going to get smack not once but twice! First smack will be from my pattern and shot hitting him then the second one will be from his head hitting the ground ;D
