[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5295066, member: 131"] I'll add one more reason some hunters miss, and I have even had some more seasoned guys tell me they did this before. They have a gun/choke/shell dialed in and they are confident in it, been on a roll for several years. Either because the shells were not available, or they [I](the hunter[/I]) wanted to switch shells ([I]think latest and greatest[/I]), they swapped out the shells and assumed POA=POI with the new shells. Not even close. After a few misses, they finally decided to check POI after the damage was done, and realized just changing shells can change your POI enough/considerably and result in missed turkeys. Don't do it, always check POI if you change anything with your setup ([I]type of choke, exit diameter, shells, etc[/I]). [/QUOTE]
