Quote from: VaTuRkStOmPeR on February 26, 2014, 01:16:05 PMHere's a fact for you: switching the gun from one shoulder to another with multiple birds in range, let alone multiple birds at point blank range is a low percentage move 100% of the time.
Quote from: VaTuRkStOmPeR on February 26, 2014, 01:16:05 PMI can appreciate the perspective on chokes but we disagree fundamentally. Ill take a clean miss with an ultra-tight pattern over crippling with a 20-30" pattern any day.
Quote from: Vabirddog on February 26, 2014, 02:47:26 PMNo, What you are really saying is you will take a miss with an ultra tight pattern than a kill with a 20" pattern any day. A lethal pattern is still lethal be it 10" or 25". The OP is not talking about spraying shot, he is talking about having a larger patterned and centered LETHAL pattern at his preffered ranges. He's not trying to extend his range just be a more effective hunter. Density beyond absolutely lethal is wasted shot.fwiw
Quote from: RemingtonRules on February 26, 2014, 09:57:15 AMRemember when dialing in your gun turkeys do not always stand still for the shot. Often times they can be moving. If your gun is tight this can be a challenge to hit your target. I remember one bird that just appeared following a hen through the woods at my 3 O'clock. Bad angle for a right handed shooter. I had to switch to left handed. Ended up missing that bird trying to track him left handed and him not stopping due to being locked in with his hen. Everything does not play out like the pattern board sets it up to be. Good luck this season.
