50 yds IMO way to far I agree w/ Calltomuch I've heard the "stories" on here about guys clobbering turkeys at 50 yds and up. May happen 1 in 10 times, mostly just educating him for tomorrow at best, but most times just crippling birds. Isn't what makes turkey hunting the best is the rush of seeing that bird strut at 20 yds and feeling that booming gobble that just about knocks your hat off. I wish guys would realize shotguns don't have the range of 7mm
