Default RE: 60yd shoot out

Iread a lot of people on hear saying that they shoot turkeys at 60 yards and I read a lot of people on hear say they get great patterns at 60 yards...

that 30 yard pattern is decent but there is now way that pattern is going togive you a killing pattern at60 yards...I really don't think it would be much better than average at 40... Ten yards will take a whole lot ofthose pellets out of that pattern...

Itonly looks like you got maybe 16 hits in the vitals (brain/neck vertebra)ten more yards and you might get half that in the vitals...

All my turkey guns(3) throw patterns as good or a little better at 30yards, and I wouldn't dream of a 50 yard shot let alone 60... I reallly think 99% of the people on hear that say they have guns that shot killing patterns at 60 yards really need to learn how to use a tape measure
