Hopefully I'll place these pics in the right order and explain the process I used.
I've been a huge fan of the flight control and versatight loads since they came out. My biggest beef with being issued my Benelli was that the issued buckshot sucked. Half a payload of 00 and the performance of the shotgun was not as awe-inspiring as I had heard.
Now that I can use whatever I want I've been using these types of loads for defense and hunting and have had incredible performance on deer out to about 50 yards.
The Hornady#4 buck in the versatight was has gotten 2 deer at 45 and 50ish yards and has convinced me I'm not lacking anything inside that range. The 9 pellet 00 full power flight control has also performed as well. I only tried the #4 because I was living on the farm and had to chase varmits away from coups from minks to coyotes and everything in between. The more pellets helped with the smaller targets. After seeing the performance on 180lbs deer I have no qualms with fighting with it.

I then walked back to 35 yards shot once, 45 yards shot once, then 50 yards with 3 shots as fast as I could pull the trigger with the front sight on the torso

At the farther distances I'm getting enough flyers that I really need to be paying attention to my surroundings but depending on the situation I would not hesitate to grab one of my Mossbergs for nearly anything I might need a long gun for outside of some hunting.
