You asked for help...then say crap like that. You have a good, experienced group trying to help you out, and you act like the kid you are... Have a little respect for the guys that have done this, and maybe even know that it isn't wise to try to make 75 yd shots, or even 50.
Get out and hunt, learn the bird, enjoy hunting them, not shooting them. Then you'll know what we're talking about.
time for bed boy!

Right back to being SuBMoA, and that ain't a good place to be.
Being 15, ain't your problem. Being a DSMFer, is.

If 100 yard turkey shots are what you are looking for id get a over under citori 3.5 and top it with a nightforce so you can dial in the range,you will need it., you can use those nice little see thru mounts to, that will only add to the sniper look of your shotgun
mnds go on over to oldgobbler.com and ask those fellas about 100 yard turkey shots. They will recomend shotgun shells that cost more per shell then your red dot!

That wasn't me. And I have "learned" from threads that I will not be making much more than 50 yard shots.

50 yds. is a long ways in the turkey woods.Brush will break up your on paper pattern very quick. 35 yds. is a better range for the expierianced hunter/caller. Practice,Pracrice,Practice. Put some diligent work into it. Become a hunter who is confident with his abilities. Equipment will only make it sound better. Believe Me, I carry a 10ga.w/triplex loads.

As soon as you learn not to be a dumbphuck, you won't have to worry about it. I think I'm safe, though.

at 50 yards with cheap ammo and a cheap choke, with a unpatterned gun you would be lucky to kill 1 out of 10 turkeys you shoot at. Now if you buy a good indian creek choke, shoot hevi 6s, or better yet nitros,and pattern your gun from 10 yards out to 50 yards, THEN you might have a shot at ethicly killing a turkey.
If youve learned anything, then patterning or sighting in your gun is very important, if you want to have a succesfull hunt.
