Hillbilly Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I missed a turkey with my buddy's mossberg, never really liked his gun, but not trying to make an excuse out of that. I'm gonna use my Winchester 1300 this spring. I missed a the turkey at about 10 yrds.... How you ask? I have no clue.! But gonna use some Winchester Supreme #6 Shot... and thump some heads.

Guest alex30808 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! My mossy at 10 yards throws a pattern that is no bigger than a golf ball...I shoot an 835 with a .670 Comp-N-Choke packin Winchester #5 3.5" Magnums...you still have to AIM mine at birds that are 40 yards out...the pattern is still not much bigger than a volley ball at that distance.

Born2Hunt Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! The closer the bird the harder to hit! Some people get excited and rush the shot when the bird is close and never aim. The results: a well educated bird that lives another day.

Guest gobblingghost Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! The new custom turkey guns shot more like rifles than shotguns. Alot of birds are missed every year from not aiming properly, quick shots or shooting at moving birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! [ QUOTE ] I missed a the turkey at about 10 yrds.... [/ QUOTE ] I don't like to let a turkey get that close. But sometimes it happens. At 10 yards, I'd be aiming at the butt of the wing. Not much head on a bird at that short distance.

maytom Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! Any miss is heartbreaking, but the ones at short range sure make you wince!!! Good luck with the 1300, that's been my gun of choice since 1992. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest realtrhunter Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: Revenge I tell ya!!! Has anyone used the Primos Jelly Head choke? They say that it is tight but not overly tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
