Good Place To Pattern Shotgun

[IronBait]

Hi all, 

With Turkey Season here. I need to pattern my shotgun. Any recommendations where I can pattern my shotgun out to 40 yards. Also, will I need to bring my own target stand/target?

Thanks!

Clinton WMA is where I used to go.  You will need a target and stand for it.

The range you want to use at Clinton is the shotgun slug, muzzleloader,  .22 range .....see the signs on Rt 173. The yardage should already be marked off, bring your own targets

I did it at the rifle range.  But that was over a decade ago.

Are shotguns allowed at the muzzleloader range? I thought it was just muzzleloader and .22 range?

Shotguns are allowed.

I think that if you have targets (preferably turkey ones) set up and are patterning a shotgun you won't have a problem, but if you are there just shooting around with a shotgun, then yes.

We pattern all the time at Colliers Mills, with appropriate targets on stands not only for turkey but to pattern our shotguns with various shot for upland.

If you go to Clinton go during the week if you can otherwise be prepared to wait.
