I tried patterning a few types of shot today and need some advice. With #8 shot in two different types I couldn't keep all the hits on a 13" x 13" piece of paper at 5 yds. With 00 buck I could keep it on paper up to 10 yds, but not after that.
I seem to remember reading something about using a large steel plate (36" x 36") painted white for patterning (and repainted after every shot so it's reusable) - but wouldn't I be in danger of getting hit by the rebounds?
What do you guys do?
