Just thought I would post an update.
A couple of weeks ago I took this gun out and patterned it. At 25yards I fired one round using Federal 20 gauge 7 1/2 shot off the bench. The pattern appeared slightly bell shaped. I heard this is normal in shot gun patterns. The pattern was about 20" wide and I counted over 30 pellets in the 3" bullseye.
Sunday I headed out to the nearby trap and skeet range to try her out. My only real concern was the full choke. Based on what I have read on other shot gun threads I was worried it would be to tight.
Well I did better than I thought. This was the first time I shot trap this year and the first time out with the Ithaca.
I have always been a rifle and hand gun guy so shot gun shooting is new to me.
I was doing a decent job of busting those clay targets so that full choke did not seem to be a problem. I did not even notice the recoil since I am used to a 12 gauge.
Could not shoot skeet since the skeet clay target thrower was down.
