Encore pattern

Post by Gobbler »

I have a 12 Gauge Encore I hunt with every year. It has a heavy shot choke . I like to verify the tru glo sight every season before I hunt with it.

So I shot it close up with target loads and it was right on the money.

Then I decided to use a turkey load and shoot it at 50 yards to see what it looked like. Used range finder.

Here is target. I doubt I'll get a 50 yard shot but if it happens I'll probably miss anyway. :mrgreen:

I'm wanting to get me a barrel on my encore within the next year or two. I've had it since I was 15 and still haven't added any barrels. I think it would be fun to alternate with my 835
