As long as they ain't running or flying inside whatever looks close enough I'm shooting.
Average is probably over 30.
P.s. I'll shoot a runner or flyer if they are spooked.

Around 20 yards average for me. I only ever shot at one turkey over 35 yards. Most of the places I hunt are pretty tight cover.

25- 35 yards is the magic distance for me more like 30-35 '---- 25 yards is a tight pattern --
Some spots I hunt you would be lucky to see 20 yards in one direction

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons. However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.
