I'm assuming this is using a Truglo SSX and not a Gobble Stopper??? :OGturkeyhead:

Don't mean to be rude here... Just honest opinion... Good tight numbers, but patchy. I am seeing a lot of this with the ssx and heavyweights.

You're right, that one is patchy. It was the highest count of the 5 shots I made, so I posted it. This pattern is from the same set up, and is a lot more even. Majority of the 5 I shot looked like this.

What is your average out of that combo, over 10 shots? I agree, looks patchy. Honestly, I would open the choke up a bit, and it will give you a more even pattern.

The gun only has 6 shots through it, and one of those was with a sumtoy. The sumtoy wasn't near as tight if I remember right so I didn't shoot anymore with it. My average out of the 5 shots with the ssx is right around 190. Look at that second pattern pic I posted, that's what the patterns look like on the majority of the 5 shots. Thanks for the reply
