I've been taking youth hunters out for turkey for some years now and one thing I do with my kids is never let them feel a full power load. They shoot 2 3/4" target loads at 10 and 20 yards for practice until they get comfortable handling the gun. Then when you go afield you toss a turkey load in and they never know the difference. When shooting at a bird the adrenaline will absorb all the recoil. It's been a very effective method for my hunters. Also stay away from 3 1/2".

I own a couple sets of ported shotgun barrels and they do nothing to reduce recoil.The easiest and cheapest method to reduce recoil is to add weight to the stock. Most shotguns have a hole drilled in the stock. Put something heavy in that. Fill an empty shotshell with lead pellets, crimp it and stick it in the hole. You can probably fit 2 or 3 in there. Each one will add about 3.5 ounces to the gun.
Thanks guys for the info and offers to help with handload info.They both shoot .257 Roberts and .50 muzzies and I was thinking they needed the heavy 3 1/2 in. Loads good to know they don't.Any suggestions on factory loads? We are going to be hunting with Jarrod at Ovgs and hoping the shots won't be to long. Thanks
Is it usually full choke for turkeys
