[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1439122, member: 6145"] 00 buck patterns at about 3" at 15 ft. for those of you that think this evaluation is funny, i had a student, girl, that bought a HD shotgun from a big chain store, clerk said, 'its a shotgun, just point it in the general direction and fire, do not worry about aimming.' She asked if this were true. So we shot her gun at 15 ft and low and behold the pattern with 00 buck was 3". Moral of story is that some people are getting bad info. with a 3" pattern, similiar to aiming with a gun, may make a nasty wound on the exterior of the torso but the bad guy will still be alive and can kill you. you better take the time to AIM to center of mass IMO. as for shooting the bad guy with #8 birdshot and then following up with buckshot, who says you will get the follow up shot.
