RE: Pattern your Turkey Gun use this
I think there was more info on this tread then I can exorb in one sitting 
First, I have to say Thankyou to Pygmybecause what he said was very interesting to me.
As for Targets, there are a number of them and I had no idea really.
Now for information on Patterning, well I have a lot of respect for everyone here and JW a lot , but I think some important info has been missed here.
My opinion on patterning is different to a lot. As the vitals of the target is important , so is the area around the kill zones of the birds head. These such areas play a very important roll in the patterning of a good turkey gun.
Having a tight pattern that is even all the way around the head/neck area is as important to the hunter as the vital shots.
Everyone would love to have a pattern like the Old Remington advertizement with a perfect inline head and neck shot, not a pellet out side that area. In fact if we did there would be far more misses then you see today because excitement is going to play with management of still when aimming.
Working with a target with a 10 inch or 1 foot circle around the head and neck area and manage a combo to place the highest percentage of shot into that area on a even bases, will hit your target everytime and as well will cover for any error in the excitement area....
