[shotgunning for deer by dave henderson] he's a writer for for buckmaster magazine. there is alot in the book about getting the most from shotgun's including pinning the barrel, he say's "any gun will benefit, some more then others depending on how tight the barrel sleave fits the reciever"

He has taken caribou at 162 yards , pronghorn at 117 and 191 yards using sabots. most people wont believe these numbers but he has taken the time to fine tune his gun and is not shooting a straight off the rack gun.

I'm not saying anyone can shoot 191 yards with a slug gun but I'm also stuck in a shotgun only area and got very frustrated at the deer circling me at distances i'm not comfortable shooting. so I put on a hasting cantilever barrel and scope, monte carlo stock with a sims recoil pad. and before this year's hunt will have the trigger reworked and the barrel pinned.

as for [it's still a shotgun not a rifle] that doesnt mean I want to settle for something that could be improved on. Ive recieved a little ribbing on reworking my gun for accuracy but last year my 12 pt was the biggest deer in my hunting party and the biggest taken in 20 years in the area I hunt.

So if Dave henderson says pinng the barrel will help I'm going to do it
if he says lightening the trigger will help I will do that to, after reading his book I wont settle for a gun I know can be better .

just remember all the improvement mean nothing if you dont try out the different ammos and practice, practice, practice.

So read the book and good luck
