find a fork tree and carefully bend the barrel until you get it shooting straight, or scope it. Good way to wound a Tom with it off like that, as you have to mentally adjust the aim to get a good poi.

depending on what gun you have you may be able to fix this. bennellis have shim plates to adjust this. best option woul probally be a scope or adjustable sights.

Back up 5-10 yards and see what happens.

Since you didnt say what brand gun you have its hard to tell you what to do to correct this. If the gun has a ribbed barrel buy a set of adjustable sights that fit on the rib. Shoot the target with regular game loads at 10 yards. See where the pattern hole is and adjust the rear sight the same way the hole needs to go, in your case to the left. When the shot hits dead center on the target move the target back to your maximum range you are going to shoot and check your pattern again with the turkey loads.
Of the pictures you posted I would use the first choke. Good luck, h.h.

I have had 2 guns both mossburgs shoot high and to the right. Both barrels were bent when shipped from the factory. The 410 was very apparent right out of the box. The 12 gauge was slightly bent. Took both of them back. The pattern you are shooting now with that gun I would not take it out hunting. Take it back or take it to a gunsmith to have it checked out.

Were you bench resting the gun?
Possibly you might have been pulling the gun to the right when you pull the trigger.

I would go with the first (choke) target. Get a set of sights that attach to the rib and center them up. Try different ranges and see if they remain center. If they do you are good to go. If not you will probably need to do as Timex says and bend the barrel. A little bend will go a long ways.

the gun is a 12 ga. bennelli nova. Buy a set of adjustable sights that have both windage and elevation adjustments and follow my instructions in my first post and your problem will be solved. I saw a set of TruGlo sights at Gander Mountain in Ft Wayne last week that would work on your Nova and they were priced around $35.00. h.h. |

I had an 870 that was the same way so I bought a scope for it. Works good now. Good luck.

I'd slap a red-dot on it, and be done.

I have the Tri-vis sites on my Bennelli and they work great.

I thought bench resting the weapon on a calm day might make a difference, watch your trigger pull.
