Remington 870 with a full choke (because some of the shooting on the lake is as things fly over me in their flight path)

I've called in two groups of mallards and haven't dropped a single one, shot at two swans 35m out and not a shred of evidence of my shots. Thoughts??

how does it pattern???? WHERE does it pattern??? not hard to put up cardboard box at 40 yards and see whats happening..... full choke is either clean kill or a miss... you could easily be a yard high or low.... some guns like head hard down on stock,others different,pattern it and find out.
