I made a trip to the range yesterday for some handgun shooting and a couple of rounds of skeet. I just picked up a Thomas Bland 12 gauge 2 1/2" and wanted to try it out. I also hadn't had Uncle Dan out for quite a while so thought he might like a trip to the club.
The Bland shoots about 60/40 and half a pattern to the right on the splatter board. Dan centers it right where I'm looking. The Bland is choked cylinder and improved modified and the Lefever, a 12 gauge, is tight and extra tight. I will say when you're on with the Lefever on a low house 8 the target just seems to blink out of existence.
Despite the Bland shooting a bit to the right I shot it fairly well. I shot the Lefever better so will shoot it this weekend in a SxS sporting clays event. After decades of skeet with O/U's it sure is fun to get out with the SxS's for an informal round now and then.
I shot a 19 with the Lefever and a 16 with the Bland.
