By the way, this post wasn't about teaching my daughter to shoot as far as she could, what I was trying to get at is, I know a 20 ga 2 3/4 inch is not the idea shotgun for turkey hunting, in fact, I couldn't even find an official turkey load at BPS. What I was trying to figure out was what the max effective range of such a load would be for such a load. With my 12 ga, it is 40 yrds though i've never shot a turkey in 12 yrs beyond 30 yrds, most 25. I just wasn't sure if the 20 ga max range might be 25-30, meaning my normal shot is the outer limits of the youth gun.

CJGJR, what choke were you shooting in your 20?
