Real world test this morning. I shot this gobbler at 56 yards with the Winchester Longbeard #5 with the 3 1/2 inch shell. I didn't think the shot was that far. I didn't have time to range him as the two hens with him were getting real nervous. I ranged him after the shot. He was in a corn stubble field following two hens and I am aimed at the waddles. He absolutely dropped like a rock.
When I was dressing him out I plucked his feathers in the chest area and skinned out his neck to see the shot pattern on the bird. I wished I would have taken pics so you could see. He had 5 hits in the head, 11 in the neck, 6 in the waddles, and his chest from the breast bone up was peppered.
The Indian Creek choke and Longbeard combination really did a great job.
