Places to do a pattern test in BR?

I need to run a pattern test before Christmas time, plan to be making a number of hunts around then. And just wanted to check my pattern, have a SBEII and been missing a few shots that got me thinking something might be a lil wrong with my barrel.
Searched online and found that the SBEII has some horrible manufacturing tolerances for the barrel and a lot of variances have been reported with people's barrels. Some were shooting almost a foot left and right at 25yds.
I could be a horrible shot, but I'm going to clarify that before I take a self esteem hit and quit hunting forever.

A poster board or sheet of newspaper and any place that you can shoot a shotgun. I guess hunter's run would be a good place 
You can do it out of your duck blind pretty easily

Hunter's Run has a pattern target

Do not allow greater than 2-3/4" shells to be shot at their range. So unless the OP is shooting these in the blind, I would say no dice. But yes, they do have "patterning facilities"

Sounds about right

He could at least convince himself that his barrel isn't fricked that way.
I'd bring two sticks and a poster board and shoot it out the blind after the hunt one day.

That place isn't policed too well. You could run a few shells of whatever you're shooting through and see what your pattern is doing. Worse case scenario they scold you and give you a

Thanks for the help.
Like I said I don't want to blame my misses on a barrel, cause it obviously sounds like a may be a sugarass, lol, new favorite term. But I read to many threads online with guys benelli's shooting way off. Plus I have a sight coming in soon to do some turkey hunting with and wish to sight that in as well while I'm there.
