Pattern it until you find a combo that gives a good even pattern at 40 yards. 100 hits in a 10 inch circle with shot between 4-6 should be your goal. The factory bead works fine. Once you have a setup that will kill em at 40 than learn to call by listening to real birds either in person or sound files. Then get in the woods and learn how to hunt em.
lol, what a thread! being from Utah i am not much of a turkey hunter. we are on a draw here and i have only pulled two tags.
I shoot my goose gun at them, a Browning gold 10 ga, 28" barrel and a pattern master choke. it shoots hevishot #6 and #2's well. while patterning i found i had no buisness shooting past 45 yards with it, o it would score a few hits in the head at 60, but not enough to trust it.(actually, federal #4's in plain lead pattern best for me)
so i guess my question is, is 45 and under the normal lethal range with most guns? i have thought about getting a 32" barrel for it, dunno how much better it would be tho. i just use a FO bead.
