When people with 40-50 years of turkey hunting wisdom try to share their experience with you might want to at least have an open mind and consider what they are saying..last time..a little common sense. Most of the turkey guns that folks shoot these days will put the entire pattern in a 10" circle at 20yds. At 15 yards and less that pattern can be 6-8 inches. Being satisfied that half your pattern is all you need..you would only have 3 or so inches as a margin for error..if you don't think you could get off target 3 inches or so on a moving target you are very mistaken..it wouldn't matter if you slept at the gun range and shot every day..Easy big fellow. Ronnie likes to shoot them in the head and stacks 'em like cordwood every year. And my family really and truly prefers venison to beef. It's going to be o.k., really.Ronnie needs to respect his elders a little more.... lolsent from my HTC EVO using Tapatalk

Do we kill turkeys, sure do. OK, we won't change a thing. Good discussion. Start a new one. Just not about blinds, rifles, ambushing, or roost shooting.

It's not worth arguing.Its worth it to me to discuss topics like this that promote the improvement of all facets of turkey hunting. I think that is what this site is all about. This one just happens to be on the topic of shot placement. We are all grown men who can handle a debate with out getting their feelings hurt.. i hope. Im always open minded to ideas and strategies if folks can show me that it works and explain to me how. I believe that teaching young folks is the future of our sport. If there is a more effective way to convey this to them i want to know about it..Discussing shot placement will assuredly help someone reading this to become a better shot and also for others to give it some thought as to where they aim. Ive asked hunters from time to time where they aim and they said "I dont know". Some of the best turkey hunters in the country putting their heads together to discuss what works best is always a productive conversation.

When I patterened my gun. I sighted it in so the top of my 10" circle touches the bottom of where I am aiming. That way half the patterned dosent "fly over his head.I guess you might as well say I aim for the middle of the neck. Just curious.. but why wouldn't you just sight in your gun so that the center of your pattern is where you are aiming..that way you have more visibility of the bird when you shoot..you would instead aim at the featherline/ waddles and be able to see more of the turkey when you make the shot..I guess if you have a scope... visibility is probably not an issue but i would always have my POA/POI on..

Quote from: ILIKEHEVI-13 on June 28, 2011, 10:26:19 PMWell I aimed at the dot on this turkey target. I'd bet money it would'nt matter much if I aimed at the head. But to put the most shot in that piece of paper aiming where I did maximized the pattern on that paper and the turkey head and neck. That's a no brainer to me. That's providing that you have your gun shooting good centered patterns at your aiming point. There is approx 76 shot in the head, neck, beak region. That was shot at 40yds taped. That's the backside of the target so you can better see it for your viewing pleasure. That pattern was shot with my 870 3" 2oz #7 Hevi-Shot load with a Pure Gold .670 choke.
