[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 362503, member: 2736"] I would recomend getting a target with a full size turkeys head on it and try that because even though you may have a good shot count for a 10" circle you are looking for a uniform pattern density (No holes large enough for the turkeys head or neck to go UN damaged. With the turkey head target you can also pick the best aiming point. I like to aim at the head so I don't shoot up the breast. some aim at the center of the neck so they get as many shot in the turkey as possible. but with 2 1/4 oz loads that is not a problem for me. Some times different brands of shotgun shells can produce better shot densities than others in the same choke. also shot size can greatly effect the pattern densities I tried every brand of turkey loads on a turkey target and found a huge difference and even though I may prefer one brand over I will always pick the best in my shot gun with the chokes I have. Buy doing this I have extended my effective range from 45 yards to 65yards and that can be important later in the season. Good luck and give it a try. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
