Hey guys i need a little help, i went out today and patterned my turkey gun. I was shooting a Benelli Super Black Eagle, Undertaker XXXFull Choke, and Winchester 3 1/2" 2 OZ. 5 shot turkey loads...

At 10 yards it tore a complete hole in the turkeys neck so that no more of the neck was even showing. I really think that if i had a tom that close his head would be GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 20 yards there was 72 pellets in the kill zone

At 30 yards there was 46 pellets in the kill zone

At 40 yards there was 17 pellets in the kill zone

I was just wondering if this is about average or not? I have been turkey hunting for 5 years and have yet to get a tom in close enough for a kill shot. I have had them at 40 yards but i was not confident enough for the shot. Do you guys think that i should stick to 30 yards or is that enough pellets in the kill zone at 40 to do the trick.

Thanks for any help, i would really appreciate it. I am going to hunt hard this season and see if i can bag one of these stupid birds.
