things I learned this w/e

I gave this thread some more thought - but I was stopped before any damage could be done - and a couple of things deserve mentioning-again.  100 grains of powder in a 20 ga is way more than needed; too much actually.  My smoothbore has a rear sight and I don't think I would have kept it otherwise.  It helps with both ball and shot.

Stock shape can make a major difference, but getting the face up a bit does the same thing.  I shoot ball, prb and bare, with 60 grains of 3F going up to 70-75 for deer.  But as I no longer hunt, 60 grains it is.  The 20 ga isn't much of a kicker so that alone tells you something is not right.

I appreciate all the responses. same stuff all the guys in the club say, way too much boom.
 My next session with the ol .62 I will definitely try a lesser charge.  not sure when that will be tho as I am loving my kibler at the moment.
 I should take her to the range the next time out and give her another go.
