I'm just a young buck, so some of these questiobs that sound stupid, or not right is because I don't know to much when it comes to all that. But I am trying to learn the best I can. But I'm not saying the wad would be behind it as in missing. Ins saying the was would almost look like it was chasing the clay targwrs, but no pellets are hittinf, once again I appolagize if I sound like I'm clueless! I've shot skeet a lot, and I've never had a problem like this..

Benelli and Beretta make several different thread patterns for their guns. My suspicion is that your shotgun takes the Beretta/Benelli mobil choke. This is the common pattern for the Nova/Super Nova and the lesser expensive guns. Your owners manual will probably specify this, providing the manual is in the box.
As far as the skeet problem, depending on what station you are on, if the shot is crossing in front of you the lead should be 3-4 feet in front of the clay. Open chokes are best with Imp. Cylinder the most you'd need. No. 8 or 9 shot is best as it puts up a sizable cloud. I would check the choke, and stay shooting skeet with more lead. Additionally, what has helped me is to swing through the bird, obtain proper lead, squeeze the trigger and follow through.

The choke wasn't made by Benelli, it has the Benelli/Beretta Mobil style threads, which is the correct thread pattern for that gun.

No, Bass Pro's new line of waterfowl chokes are the Black Outs as well. They are just Carlsons

I'll be damned, hadn't seen them. Curious as to what constriction the OP is using.

That would be a Modified. Only thing to do is pattern it on paper. I have before had a choke tube where the POI was off, Carlson exchanged it for me. Let us know what the pattern is like.

One last question, how far away should you pattern your shotgun? Yard wise?
Olly wrote:Most of the time it's not the gun but the operator...
Pick you a load that you like, pattern it with the chokes you have so you can have a better idea of the spread at X distance. Pattern it at multiple distances. Then just stick with that load/gun/choke combo and work on your shooting.
Also I'd bet 99% of the members here will tell you that you don't need 31/2" shells. My go to load is a 3"#3.
