Sighting In For Turkey Season
April 9, 2009
One of the most important things you can do to help you be successful in the turkey woods is to sight your shotgun in. You’d be surprised at how many people overlook this important step and have no idea what kind of pattern there gun is shooting. We talked before about shot size and choke tubes in an earlier post and both will effect the pattern your gun will shoot.
When it comes to shooting a turkey with a shotgun remember unlike other types of hunting with shotguns you really need to shoot it like a rifle. That’s why it is important to sight it in. I like to have a minimum of 20 pellets in the spine / brain area of the turkey target when I sight my gun in. So I’m including some printable targets that you can use to check your gun pattern before the season comes in.
