Honest question

Ah GOB, for one thing it is one good reason to buy a new toy if you don't already own one of the turkey cannons. They can be a tough target at times. One thing I would like to remind the shotgun pattern shooters.....this is a must do....place a target only 10 yards from you and take a shot. You just might be surprised at where the 'hole' will be located as to where you had your sights placed......we like to count the numbers of shot at say 30yds or 40yds but I for one was surprised at where I made the 'hole' at my target at only 10yrd...the pellet group is like shooting a 1" slug at that distance and by doing this....is the reason I took a 22lb 12" bearded bird at 10yds.....or I would have missed him..I had to place my bead even with the left side of his neck in order to place the x on the spot. I also spoke to those in charge at the 835 plant finding out they built this shotgun for #5 shot and this works fine for me also ....I guess to each his own but this is food for thought.....yes...also taken birds with 2 3/4 at 30yds 12g....but do like the numbers of BB's in one of those 10g shells...I think the 3 1/2 inch 12's are to be about 90% of a 10guage....is this right?.....now to convince the boss hen of 35 yrs that I need a 10g semi for my one shot turkey hunt....na...my single shot 10 works fine....
