[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1980919, member: 2736"] I hear what you are saying, But to take a 300 yard shot "ON" (Not at) a turkey one should know he will hit the turkey or not take the shot. I have seen more turkeys missed and lost to shotguns because the hunters were not very good shots even with a shot gun and didn't know the limits of their distance and the quality of their shot pattern. I love eating them and hunting them But i never take a shot that is marginal with Bow, shot gun or rifle. I'm just not mad at them and respect them to much to risk a poor shot with anything. I also only take head or neck shots with everything including a shot gun except with a bow because a body shot damages to much good meat. I have one shot that I will take with an accurate rifle to 4 and 500 yards. The turkey has to be looking straight at me and trying to spot me (Standing very still) and I aim at the gullet just above the breast and the bullet exits the back destroying the back but not harming the breast. Again conditions have to be perfect and I have to know I will be successful. I have made this shot on many turkeys out to 400+ yards but so far never to or past 500 yards. (Don't know that I ever will ether). A person has to know his limits and stick with them. no matter what weapon he uses. I don't Judge other shooters methods as long as they are Legal and Successful :cool: :cool: . Just My Opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
