[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1545812, member: 99718"] That sounds about like my gun, I even shot a couple shots at 70 yards and had one or two in the skull, but that's not good enough to be sure of a kill, that's why I limit my shots to 50 yards and that would be only if they wouldn't come closer ! About 10 years ago I set up several times on a gobbler that was with hens, and they would only come to about 50 yards, on my last set up I no sooner called and seen them coming through the woods along the edge of a field that dropped into the head of a shallow hollow, they came to the opposite side of the hollow from me, I estimated the distance at 50 yards, as the hens started to go down the far side of the hollow I knew the gobbler would be following them so I decided that I would try a shot at him I turned my red dot scope on and took a steady aim and fired ! He went right down and started to flop into the hollow, I rushed to him and by the time I got there he was about done flopping . I stepped it off using as long a step as I could take, and the head of the hollow at this point was only a slight dip and I stepped off 62 steps ! This is the farthest I have killed a turkey, and I could see several hits in the head and neck area ! It only takes one good pellet hit in the right place as long as the pellet has enough energy left to kill . [/QUOTE]
