[QUOTE="Ar257weatherby, post: 644803, member: 46353"] I used to pattern all my guns every year and count the pellets in a 10. and 20 at 40-50-60 ...I dont even bother with it anymore If the gun will shoot a tight pattern at 40yards it will kill them at 55 yards ...I much rather have a bird a t20 yards and try to get em that close , dont always work but there are many wounded birds in our area every year cause joebob went and bought a SBII and a kicks choke and hevishot and shot it once at a turkey target and had a few on the head and thinks he can knock every bird off his feet at 90yards ... I got a gun that will shoot a crazy good pattern at 50 yards , and last monday had 3 big paintbrush beards come in struttin at 52yards, they didnt like somthing (decoy) I believe and started puttin ..the biggest bird broke away and stopped in a opening and I put the gobbledots on him and shot ...he hit the ground floppin ..I went to standup and he got his feet under him and pitched off side of bluff , I shot at him in the air and knocked feathers out , I was very disappointed ..looked down the hillside for 150yards nothing,, 2 days later owner calls me and found him at the bottom floating in the lake in shallow waters, turtles eating him ..I went out next morn before work waded out and got him and wasnt much left except wings and bones ... I dont know what happened but I guess just like deerhunting every once in a while there are some tuff ones ... [/QUOTE]
