At 35 yards I am getting 30-40 hits in a 10" circle.
At 40 yards I am getting 20-30 hits in a 10" circle.

My question is, am I getting enough pellets in the circle? I have read several different posts regarding number of pellets getting in the circle. I also understand it depends alot on the shells / choke.



It seems like I am getting a pretty good number of pellets in the circle (especially with the shorter barrel) but I just want to be sure since this is my first year for turkey hunting.

Thanks in advance!!
