Let us know what the pattern looks like. I shoot paper shot cups in my 12 gauge cylinder bore to tighten its pattern up.

Our season (Missouri) starts 4/21 and I am chomping at the bit! I have three toms that have been roosting behind my house that I have to listen to most mornings as of late. It makes my blood pressure go up and my trigger finger twitch. Funny thing is, I'll probably hunt those birds with a longbow and save Sweet Rachael, my 20 gauge flinter, for the birds at my farm.

Good luck!
