Those who have followed us for a while know the Freeze hunts quite a bit with a Mossberg 500 shotgun. Actually, it’s Mossberg’s economical line known as a New Haven Shotgun. As I type, I can’t recall how long he has been using this particular gun, but it’s at least 20 years. And possibly more.
- A slug goes into the dirt.
- Before and after deer slugs.
- Before and after deer slugs
- It’s easy to spot POI on orange or white when shooting slugs.
Well…a few weeks before deer season in 2015, we go out to zero our guns on Mitchell’s range. But instead of shooting for groups on paper, we shot at steel.
- Deformed slugs.
- Freeze might have taken 100 deer with this gun. Not joking.
- Here you can see the impact points. Pretty tight for 75 yards with a shotgun.
- New Haven Shotgun. The affordable Mossberg.
When I was policing up the target stands, I snapped a few images of the results. Many people shoot deer slugs, but how many typically get to see the results on armor plate?
