Patterned the turkey load.

[Mike Koneski]

Our season opens May 1. Put the ground blinds out today and patterned the Parker SBT thinking I’ll take one of the gobblers with it. Took two shots at 30 yards with 1 1/4 oz of 7 1/2s. Yeah, he’ll assume room temp!!

[Dean Romig]

Mike, Is that pattern just one of the two shots or both of them?

Either way it's deadly!!

[Mike Koneski]

It was both. Not many pellets outside that target. If I did a 30” circle it would be a 100% pattern!

[Dean Romig]

Even with just one shot you'd still have more than 40 definite bone-breaking pellets in the kill zone.

Holy crap Mike..... Dont shoot low you'll blow his beard off.... and dont shoot straight on while in full strut cause you'll blow the fan to shreds.

Just sayin.....

After another incident this AM I'd like to use it on some porcupines. Our female shepherd just got a mouth-full of quills and is at the vet. I couldn't help her with this one. "The Great 2021 Porky War" is on!! :draw:

[Dean Romig]

That really sucks Mike!

What earthly purpose do porcupines serve?

Target practice? Fertilizer? Food for Fishers?

Mike, Otis has been into them FIVE times, he doesn't learn, so I feel your pain.

Ruby is also in heat and will be bred. Papered German Shepherd pups this summer.

My setter knows better but after nine years he just had to sniff one. Quills in his snout and up his nose. A trip to the vet and $600 later I started the war. I have shot 3 in two weeks and am constantly on the lookout for them. Any close to the house will get liquified.
