Patterning your shotgun with a new load is the best way to know how it performs. Shoot a few rounds at a large sheet of paper at 25 to 35 yards with the choke you plan to hunt with, and check that the densest part of the pattern lines up with your point of aim. Trying a tighter or more open choke can make a real difference on fast, close birds.
Store shotshells in a cool, dry place in their original box, and keep loads with different shot sizes separated so you always grab the right shell in the field. Buying enough from the same lot for the whole season keeps velocity and pattern consistent from one hunt to the next, so your practice carries over to the field.
Trap, skeet and sporting clays have grown into some of the most popular shooting sports in the country, with leagues at local clubs and high school teams competing every season. Each discipline rewards consistency, and using the same reliable target load every round helps shooters build a smooth swing and a repeatable sight picture from station to station.
The 20 gauge has become a favorite for clay target shooters because its lighter guns and softer recoil reduce fatigue over hundreds of rounds, while a well-made load still breaks targets cleanly. Many skeet competitors shoot a 20 gauge in their sub-gauge events, and sporting clays shooters often choose it for smooth handling on fast crossing and incoming targets.
