How to Pattern a Shotgun
By Chuck Hawks Shotgun patterns are measured at 40 yards for all gauges, except .410 bore. .410's are patterned at 30 yards. Patterning is a simple process, but time consuming due to all the counting required. Here is the correct way to pattern a shotgun. Set a big piece of blank paper on a frame 40 yards from the muzzle.

It has been just over three weeks since a change to federal law , signed nine months ago by President Obama, went into effect allowing the laws of the state encompassing a national park to govern whether citizens may legally carry firearms into the park. During the last few weeks, Minnesota Public Radio News has featured several reports on the impact the change will have on visitors to Minnesota’s magnificent national parks which will now be governed by Minnesota state firearm laws. The only problem with the series is that, even with the nine month lead time, park spokesmen do not yet seem to fully understand the law. In one report , Voyageurs National Park Superintendent Mike Ward is reported as properly commenting that "[p]eople who wish to take handguns into the park can do so as long as they comply with all applicable Minnesota laws."
