So this has me thinking....if you POA and POI are the same at 15yds it will be the same at 40yds correct? Depends on how you are aiming. If you are just using a bead you are probably ok. If you are using a scope, then it might be a little high at 40. I'd shoot it and see. I have a pro series magnum gobble dot...I shot it at 10, 20, and 30 and all was ok

Its my fault because I had never patterned this gun before with this Indian creek choke. I had a Tight Wad in it previously and it wasn't close to being this low. Anyone ever had this happen? IMO too many hunters screw with a setup that works far too often; not coming down on you, but every single tweak you make has an impact & if you're not willing to follow-through & test that impact w/several shots, just don't make the change until you have the time. You learned this the hard way, and educated the birds all at the same time. Once I have a a setup that's working, man, I never jack with it b/c I want 100% confidence in the woods. I'd also say - don't be lured in by "more expensive XXX" ... An old timer turkey hunter I know still shoots his beat-up 835 Ulti-Mag w/the factory turkey choke & absolutely slays 'em... Find a setup that nails it at 30-40 yards & let it ride. [disclaimer: this is old skool philosophy, but sometimes old skool's the best skool]

I know it.. The tight wad wasn't grouping all that great, I didn't think it would throw it off that far honestly. Man, both my shotguns have TightWads (have for years) and I can blow 'em down at 50 yards... What shells are you using? MagBlends work particular well w/both my guns w/TightWad chokes...
