[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5055606, member: 1409"] I'm pondering setting up kinda a "guest" and/or youth gun for turkey hunting. It's going to be a 20 ga with a Fastfire sight and probably going with either an improved cylinder, modified, or improved modified choke. Here's my thinking: Don't need anything tighter than these chokes for head-shooting turkeys under 30 yds. Going to smaller #10 TSS (with a more open choke) will provide a somewhat comparable pattern density to #6 lead thru a full choke. The big advantage is much less chance for [U][B]a miss[/B][/U], on an otherwise easy shot, which seems to be the most over-looked aspect of novice turkey hunting. In other words, when a novice hunter is afield with a rifle-like "turkey" choke, he/she may have more chance of missing an easy close-range shot, than failing to connect on a long-range shot. And, I'm wanting to help novices appreciate "up close & personal", actually calling up a strutting Tom, rather than just shooting one seen in the distance. There is a difference between shooting and hunting, albeit shooting is a part of most hunting. This idea is about placing more emphasis on the hunting than the shooting. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
