Looks like you might wanna aim a little lower on the neck, the densest part seems to be right at the top of his head.

How would you know fishhunt247, you've never killed a turkey.  :chuckle:

looks about right to me. I'd rather be a little hight than low. get down in them there chest feathers and slows ya way down. Bulk of the bbs right in the head is money.

Thanks dancer, and I'm just saying a little lower so you get more in the neck/head, like the ones that were probably off the target. Just my preference I guess.

Fishunt,

You're probably right, I'll take another $1.50 shot tomorrow and aim a little lower... Not like it'll hurt to see the results.  I'll try to post em tomorrow night

You said earlier......

                                 "5 shot @ 40 yards"

Try the same load at 30 and you'll be suprised.....also if you have a similar load....same ozs. of lead and 6's, you might want to check which is better.  Just remember if that big gobbler has not spooked and is continuing to close the gap...there are more pellets in the vitals at 30 yards than at 40 yards.  Just food for thought........

True true, I was pretty satisfied.  I hoped to get out today but the dental work that had to be done said otherwise. 

ahhh I can't wait!
