You could just put the turkey's head inbetween the dots  My bud had a similar thing happen a few months back on one of the NC Star reflex cheapos. He Mounted it and headed off to the range only to find the dot had no adjustment and his POI was about 3 feet low. Turkey season is many months away, you could save 10 or 20 bucks here and there and by an optic that will last a lifetime. You'll be happier on down the road. I have never regretted buying good glass. Good Luck loder

Check out www.archerytalk.com Register and keep an eye on the classifieds section. Guys are selling barely used high dollar bows on that site frequently for a huge savings. I bought a Mathews LX on there a few years back and see some really good deals on nice archery equipment from time to time. loder

Nothing to do with a red dot, but I bought a bow from a guy at archerytalk. It was excatly what the guy said it was, looks great and shoots great.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Screw the 100 dollar optics, its 30 yards for crying out loud. Put the bead 1/2 way up the neck and snipe him.....

lol.... apparently wont work for me. for some reason, I can't hit crap with a shotgun. I'm not too good with one. The red dot I have now works great! put about 150 rounds through it and shes working like a beauty. I was using 2 3/4" 8 shot shells and getting 3-4 bb's on a paper plate at 100 yards. otherwise if someone throws a can in the air i can hit it with 1 out of 10 shots.

lol... I was shooting my rifle and just thought I'd see if I could get some bb's on at 100. I would never take an 100 yard shot... maybe 75 but never 100.

75? Yeah....... You need more learnin', and damned fast before you start "sniping" anything.
Try 50, with a very good super-full choke, Hevi-shot, and some work on patterning.

my uncle consistantly takes 75 yard shots and hasn't missed a turkey yet. Once I pattern my gun at 75, Ill see how it shoots then try a shot.
