I use a browning gold, 26" barrel, semiauto, 3 1/2" mag with an undertaker aftermarket choke. On top I've mounted a red dot scope. I also cammo tapped the whole gun. With all that I added to the gun it feet like it weighs 10 lbs.

When zeroing in, I went through boxes and boxes of ammo. First I had to find the right choke. Then I tried #4's, #5's and #6's of the various ammo brands out there.

What ever you do DON'T shoot this thing in the prone position! However, when sitting down I found that it is not bad at all. 50 rounds won't hurt all that much when the shotgun is against your shoulder the way it should be.

With that said....I was in my blind this year and a big old Tom walked out in front to my decoys. He was checking my blind out like a teen age boy checking out a porn site. I happen to shoulch in my chair in the blind so I couldn't raise the barrel because the end of the barrel it was hitting the side of the "dog house" blind that I use. So I put the stock over my shoulder (which meant the grip part of the stock was next to my lip) and I found the Toms neck. I fired. The gun with the .665 undertaker using winchester turkey loads in #6 took his head clean off. In the process though it gave me a bloodly lip. After weeks of waiting for a Tom though I really didn't feel the lip. I say you are a wimp if you can't shoot at least a box at a time.

Get several (after about a box it will be time for a new pallet)wooden pallets (free if you know where to look) and down load some turkey heads off of the internet(also for free). Prop up the pallet with a 2x4 and have some fun. Make sure you shoot at different ranges. From 10 yards to about 40 yards. I think I could kill a turkey at 50 if I had to but I knew my gun was deadly at 40 so I set my decoys up at 30. I got lucky, the tom I shot walked between the decoys and me so my guess was he was about 20 to 25 yards away. At 40 yards I was putting 6 to 14 pellets in the spine-head area. Sometimes I think those turkeys are smart (had several circle around my calls) and other times I think they are stupid, like the one I shot. Have fun and shoot a lot!!!!!
