What kinda numbers are you getting and is the pattern to tight for a 12 year old 1st. time turk hunter?
getting an average of 175 with the 550.it has a nice even 20 inch also
My 40 yard number was so so, but the 30 yard number was really nice and even. Definitely above 200 but don't remember the exact number.
This is the exact setup my 11 yr old daughter hunted with last year, but with the 2 3/4 Fed #7s and she successfully harvested a bird. The thing I have found with the Feds...if you hit the turkeys neck...they go down....plain and simple.
