I've never hunted turkeys and I know nothing about turkey hunting.
Please tell me why you need such a huge load for turkeys?
I thought that Turkey hunters did a lot of sitting and waiting for the bird to come to them, so why do you need such a light gun?
Aren't turkeys usually shot at close range?
Most are shot at close range mostly because of terrain....
These #9 shot fairy dust shooters commonly brag about "80 yd kills" and some actually think they can kill them at a 100+ yards
I guess if you're a field sitter that thinks he's a turkey hunter safely tucked away in his out'e house turkey blind over a flirt of da'coys you might get buy shooting feminine guns with magic #9 size fairy dust for shot....
If you hunt Eastern wild turkeys 'Commando style' (no blinds or da'coys) in Eastern woods you will need all the advantage you can get.
In the spring I mostly shoot a 3 & 1/2" SBE stuffed with #4 Winchester tungsten alloy shot.
In the fall out of my W&C Scott SxS I shoot 2 & 3/4" #4 copper plated shot....If I hunt with my SBE either shoot 2 & 3/4" or 3" #4 or #5 shot.
Like I said I know nothing about turkey hunting.
Don't feel alone....lots of people kill them for years without ever knowing anything about turkey hunting.
