have you guys patterened a modified barrel???

its not as bad as you think....ive seen WORSE patterns from super full turkey chokes....

and ive seen those open chokes throw some dandy patterns with bigger shot, where a super full turkey choke will sometimes throw bad patterns due to the large pellets smashing together wildly...

just gotta pattern the gun and stick to the effective range.

a couple years ago a 40yd turkey gun was practically a DREAM....i remember a couple years back one of the big magazines had a big write up about "the 40yd turkey gun" now 40yds is NOTHING for some of us...we all kinda forget that at one time we were all somewhat limited to 25-30yds before....and we ALL know that you do NOT NEED a 40yd gun for turkeys...all about the setup and tactics...

maybe the guy isnt 100% serious about turkey chasin...or maybe doesnt want/have the cash to spend on a new barrel, loads, chokes etc...nothin wrong with that...he got a shotgun..thats all he needs..a shotgun and a couple turkey loads..pattern it and stick to the range and you'll drop em dead
