Good Afternoon, this is my first post on "The Firing Line" so forgive me if this (or something so similar it ----- somebody off) has been questioned prior to this post. Anyways, here's what happened.
I went to the range during chow today, I figured I should see what my benelli supernova (smooth bore, 28'' barrel) can do, besides skeet shooting. I am an avid rifle shooter, but a new firearm is needed every once in a while.
First off, why was everybody at the range confused of my slug grouping? I was using 2 3/4'' remington rifled slugs at 100 yds, and all 3 shots were toucing each other....is this not normal? I don't have any sights for my shotgun, besides the small bead in the back and the barrel rail, why was I told to get glow in the dark sights or a scope...how far does one expect to shoot a smoothbored weapon?
Anyways, after shooting some 3'' 00 buckshot, I was done with my shotgun for the day, I can't imagine shooting 3 1/2'' turkey loads.
