Turkey Hunting?

[Tom Flanigan]

POI is important and shouldn't be taken for granted. A couple of weeks ago, I patterned a Remington 1100 trap gun for a friend. He shot it poorly, so we decided to see what the gun was doing on paper. I usually start at 20 yards when determining the POI before moving back to 40 yards. The gun shot low at 20 yards. I was surprised and so I took a few more shots and got the same results. I had my friend shoot it a few times and he got the same results. I don't know the drop of the stock but it was a typical trap stocked Remington with a Monte Carlo. It fit me well, as far as I could tell.

The low shooting may have something to do with the pitch, I'm not sure. But if it was my gun I would take the time to figure it out. He didn't seem interested in investigating further.

I shot Brutus Tuesday with two ounce loads of 4’s and 6’s at 42 yards and they were okay . But they were in Remington hulls roll crimped . I think this week sometime I’ll pattern him with 1 3/4 ounce loads of 4’s and 6’s in folded crimp Winchester hulls . I’m keeping my eye open for someone to bring some recent manufacture factory 12 gauge 3” loads with 4’s or 6’s in to sell . I wouldn’t mind a few of them for my Model 12 Mag .
