There are some great guns, choke tubes, and shot now days. I've killed about 30-35 Turkeys, and 2 have been over 30 yards. As in business, it's location, location, location. The thrill for me is to drop the hammer, or release that arrow at about 15 yds. I prefer a tight even pattern, with #5 shot. I have recently put a truglo sight with an aperature sight in the back, and fiber optic in the front. Tight patterns, means good aim. I find this sight to be top notch. I do not believe still turkey shoots represent true hunting situations. impressive patterns for sure, but too tight can sometimes lead to missed or worse crippled birds. Even pattern is where it is at. Just my 2 Cts.


If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
