| |  Shotgun Patterning
Yesterday I bought an H&R Pardner Pump 12 gauge with the 28" barrel from walmart. I also bought an H.S. Strut Undertaker ported turkey choke and some Winchester Supreme #5 3" turkey loads for it. Today I went to pattern it at 30 and 40 yards and it would consistently pattern about 10" low. With regular 2 3/4" birdshot it patterns right where I aim. My question is; to get my shot pattern up, should I try different turkey loads or should I get some of those turkey sights that mount on the rib of the barrel?  | |

Just try some #4 or 5 shot in 2 3/4's that is all I use
Sure You are not flinching?

I think everyone I know boasts about how much better 2-3/4" shells shoot compared to 3" shell....

I know mine patterns better with 2 3/4" because I know I flinch and 10" low seems a lot of difference between the 2 only reason for asking

I might just order a set of these - HIVIZ TomBuster Sight Set Shotgun with Vent Rib Steel Blue Fiber Optic Green - MidwayUSA
But if I don't get this figured out before my turkey season on the 27th of this month, I'll just use the 20 gauge.

That was a joke I didn't think you can flinch that much
just hard to imagine that the 3" will shoot 10" less then the 2 3/4's if legal in your state you could always scope it
never really thought about using one till last year works very well I purchased a leapers with illuminated crosshairs cheap I think it was under $50

I could scope it, but I also want to use this gun for trap shooting. Oh well, I'll get it figured out one way or another.

WD I had a saddle mount I made at work for mine made longer trigger frame pins to hold it in place works great & stays pretty true even after many times of taking it on & off I too skeet shoot use it for Turkey & deer
& best part is just pop out the pins & replace w/ the other set takes as much time or less then swaping chokes
