[QUOTE="Ger34, post: 2157266, member: 91668"] Im in Ont Canada, so some things will be different regulation wise, however, the basics are the same Youre starting out...so dont get caught up in the marketing, you can blow through a ton of cash before u settle in The basics 1: Full choke or tighter, if you have screw in chokes, a decent turkey choke for a beginner will run about $40. I use a remington undertaker, paid $25, not made anymore, but its served me well 2: Ditto #5 shot... You can get away with #6 if you use tungsten, bismuth, or other denser shsh materials..they also pattern better 3: Patterning ...find a realistic sized turkey target online...Pr ! M0s has a decent one. Set a target at 25, 30, 35, and 40yds. Fire 1 shot at each, running a bore snake between each shot. I find a little extra lube in the barrel holds the pattern tighter ( a trick an old vet taught me for unregulated turkey shoots 30 years ago...lol) You will want at least 7-10 pellets in the turkeys head and neck, so check your targets closely. Once you have less than 7 pellets in the head and neck, back up 5 yds and thats yourmax distance. I set a few sticks upright in the ground fanning out from where i sit at my max distance and wait for the bird to be inside them Thats the basics.. If you enjoy it (you will, unless your body lacks adrenal glands) work out from there. Turkeys are tough, remember to aim at that big red waddle and enjoy!! [/QUOTE]
