I read this thread with interest. A couple thoughts…I’ve shot many thousands of ducks, geese, cranes, doves and quail in the last 50 plus years. I’ve also shot about 40 turkeys in the last 15 years that I started hunting them. One thing I’ve learned is that even though the tool you use is very similar for wing shooting and turkey shooting. The way you use them is very different. Anyone who asks “How could you possibly miss something the size of a turkey?” Probably hasn’t hunted turkeys. That 5 inch circle that represent his head, is a small target at 30 yards and beyond. The tighter the pattern the better! But don’t miss! I learned early that you point a shotgun and aim a rifle. With a turkey gun, you are aiming. I can appreciate anything that will help improve that aim.


Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...
