keep your shots within 30 and youll be alright id imagine...

when i aim a shotgun without a midbead i just get the barrel or the rib completely flat. remember to keep that head down, get that barrel or rib flat in your sight picture and put the bead on the target and squeeze off like a rifle...

when your shooting turkeys that just aint gunna happen...i cannot control myself when shooting turkeys period. i just killed my 3rd spring bird today and i got very lucky. i actually hit him right in the wing...luckily hevishot saved my butt. it anchored him pretty good...with lead i wouldnt had that pattern density or extra umph..it was my fault...i jerked the trigger and jerked it before i got the bead on his head and neck. my first bird, similar story...i remember being a foot or 2 infront of him when the gun went BOOM. i guess he died from a stray BB lol.

thats why its important to know your weapon and how it performs..its not wingshooting.

them turkey loads will definently hurt ya out of a gun like that...my 870 dont weigh much more...but atleast i got a recoil pad. just make sure you got it good and tight in the "pocket" and squeeze off the shot. take a 15 minute or longer break between shots if you want..take some of the tenderness out of the shot atleast..

if i were in your shoes i would pattern your regular field loads...not to turkey hunt with..but to learn how to aim your gun and get good consistant patterns every time..then pattern the turkey loads after you figure out how to aim it consistantly...your numbers tell me that is most likely your problem...not bad numbers...but not consistant..

good luck....turkey hunting is a whole different game...IMO the best hunting there is...

although they are birds...and you hunt them with a shotgun, you gotta learn to shoot it like a rifle...
