How else would you do it? Too many variables and most everyone is doing it...just maybe not as methodically or all at once.

Mid Range and Extended Range package
Hevi-Shot choke tubes
Benelli Vinci
mostly Hevi-metal 3" #3s

i patterned black cloud, hevi metal and kents last season and Hevi metal preformed best. i set up the targets at a "close" (30yd) and a "far" (45 or 50?yd) for the respective chokes.

i switched to the extended range choke ( .696) b/c specks started showing up later in the season and im pretty sure i missed less often with the extended range on ducks so it stayed in there.

let us know the results please

Did you shoot off a gun rest or your shoulder?

That picture show all your shot off to the left. Not good if that is the best pattern.
